How to change default search engines?

I asked about this in a relevant thread, but that was closed, so I might as well create a new one.
So the problem is that I can't get rid of the default search engines.
With every update so far I went to the routine of deleting the "defaultpartnercontent.json" file to get rid of the default search engines (which I never use) and get my custom engines back.
This no longer works. If I do that, Opera whines that a file is corrupted, and won't launch.
I don't want Yahoo to use the "y" shortcut, I want YouTube. I don't want the French Wikipedia on "w", I want the English one.
Is there any way to get rid of the default search engines in the newest version?
Thanks.

I should have gone back more than a page to check before creating this thread, then.
This can be closed, since it's redundant. -

For narushima
- Open folder Opera
- Open folder defaults
- Found file 'search.ini' and open in Text Editor
- String 'Default Search='
- Look down on the text and change to whatever you want
The only "search.ini" I can find contains search engines I used years ago but which do no longer appear in the current version of Opera. Also, changes I make in it don't stick. I can even delete the file completely and it doesn't have any impact on the serach engines.
