          @fyrekrig We were thinking about a drop down menu not search engine manager.

          As I said, you can't sst custom search engine as default one.

            @fyrekrig said in Search box drop down menu:

            Using Opera 49. Used Opera in the XP days and did not like the new look of Opera.
            However now I am back again to try. Looks OK but the one thing I miss is the search box drop down menu where you instantly could choose your search engine.
            What happened! Please put it back or I revert to Vivaldi!

            AMEN!!!, agree 1,000,000,000%

              At least in my Dev profile appears the first fourth custom search engines, I'll check on the Stable one.

              Can you provide the search string?

                  Here is the search string:

                      It appears:

                      0_1513124240896_2017-12-13_011532.png

                      But the string seems to be wrong since a CPU search gives this result.

                        Sorry the search string was incorrect. Used long time ago in old Opera.

                        Here is the correct one
                        https://www.google.se/webhp?gl=se&hl=sv&gws_rd=cr&pws=0&uule=w+CAIQICIJc3RvY2tob2xt&dlnr=1

                        When added turns up in drop down menu!
                        Thanks for all your help.
                        Now only make it possible to edit default search engines and I can start using Opera again.

                            Have now edited the search engine .json as per earlier posts
                            by using siteprefs.json and renaming it to default_partner_content.json
                            and putting it back in D:\PortApps\Opera\profile\data and D:\PortApps\Opera\49.0.2725.47\resources

                            Now it works as I hoped it would!1_1513130620000_02.png 0_1513130619999_01.png

                                There is ways to override default omnibox search engine to whatever but those are not brought forth to addon/extensions as Google and Opera attack those methods like it's some kind of Tienanmen...

                                  Do you mean harder or easier ways than the @fyrekrig trick?

                                    Very much easier, an addon. Butt those will not be submitted to Opera/Google as they block those methods in future updates. If you want it, PM me, and I'll see what I can do.
