      Version:		43.0.2442.1144 - Opera is up to date
      Update stream:	Stable
      System:			Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (x86_64; Unity)
      

      Please allow to modify the pre-offered default search engine specs at Edit > Preferences... > Browser > Search > Manage search engines..., since at the moment Opera is autodirecting me to Chinese (Taiwanese) websites for some reasons. It's just that..., I cannot speak Chinese 😉

          @leocg The FAQ you just posted, it's for Windows. I am running Linux Ubuntu, as stated in my opening post. 😛

            And Opera for Linux doesn't have such file?

              If you mean directories and folders, yes, in Linux they are different from those of Windows,

                I mean the 'Local State' file.

                  In Linux, one has to first change the file browser to show hidden files (Files > Home > View > Show Hidden Files). I manage to localize the file in question from the following path:

                  /home/xxxxxs/.config/opera/Local State
                  

                  However, this is a Suggestion Box for the development of the browser, isn't it? Therefore, it would be much easier and a lot more user friendly if one could just change the default search engine settings at Edit > Preferences... > Browser > Search > Manage search engines....

                  Cheers!

                    Hi jayaguru-shishya, I'm having similar problem as yours, instead of Chinese, google goes to Spanish and I need it in English. do you mind explain to me the dir with xxxxxs? I assume it's your user name, but I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and I don't see this dir under home, but I do have a .config dir, but no opera under it, do you mind telling me what's the correct path for Ubuntu 16.04? Thanks.

                      @michaelbr Hi there! Have you enabled your file browser to show hidden files (Files > Home > View > Show Hidden Files)? 😛
