How do I set duckduckgo as Default search program?

I changed Settings to make Duckduckgo the default search program but that works only when entering search criteria on the combined search and address bar. But when I start Opera by selecting its shortcut it still comes up with a default search screen

using google.

How do I changed that?

@stacey21 You can't, check the FAQ.

I'm having the same problem. Anybody else know if it's possible to make both search areas the same default browser (in my case DuckDuckGo)?

Hmmm. OK. I guess I'll just have to avoid using the secondary search box. Thanks.

Just search directly on the Address Bar.

Yeah, I've been doing that. Just didn't know why Google was showing up below that for searching when I chose DDG as my default. Thanks. I'll just ignore the Google search bar.

You can hide it.
