      How to manage default search engines

      I cannot add or delete or change a present search engine. See the picture:
      2dc7ac92-93b8-480e-a26e-8c0e77b60647-image.png

      How can I do it?

        @wfi As a simple research would have told you, it's not possible.

          You mean clicking the three vertical dots on the far right doesn't bring up a "make default" pop-up message?

            @fadec no, I mean delete the ones that are on the list and put there some others.

                      me although I try other search engines, I always go back to google, everyone wants to appear there, since it is the most used, except to look for things that can not be counted, for that I use yandex

                                    @negivare Only those pre-configured search engines can be set as default one.

                                      @negivare You can add any search engine but you can't make it the default one.

                                        If you wanted Yandex as a default search engine, you'd have to convince Opera that you were located in a country where Yandex was a default search engine - such as Russia or the Ukraine. Not impossible - see the FAQ about country codes.
