@vince42 Already answered, Instant Search uses start page search engine.
Do you mean the default search engine that is active, when the speed dial page is open? I do not have a "start page" in Opera, my start page (when making a new window) is the speed dial page. How do I open the "start page"?

@leocg Thanks for the clarification: In that case, the functionality is broken: I have DuckDuckGo as default search engine, which is used in the speed dial page - and the Instant Search is not using it, but Goggle.

@vince42 I don't remember Opera using DDG in start page search anywhere. Do you get it with a clean installation?
After installing Opera, I set DDG as default engine and when I enter something in the address bar it delivers results from DDG. I do not know which start page you are referring to - that might be the reason.
To keep a long story short: why would I would like different search engines in my browser? It should suffice to say: this is my start page - use it everywhere, right?

@vince42 Above your speed dials there is a search box, unless you have hidden it in settings.
That's the search engine used by instant search.Yes, disabled that right from the beginning. Why would I need (and waste space for) two search boxes?
And the main question remains unanswered: why would one want different search engine in different search boxes? Especially when there is no way to customize them?
Call me crazy, but I think most users would be quite happy, if they would choose one default search engine and the setting would be applied throughout the application.
