      Where else can I ask this question?

      Many of those here use Opera as the most important application on their phone instead of Google. Is it really not so important for developers?

          @lexusxp I have Chrome Canary, Edge, Opera Mini, Opera for Android and Opera Touch installed here and only Chrome and Opera Mini are listed.
          Maybe it's just an Android limitation?

            Most likely. Thank you all for sharing your experience! It seems, it has become clearer that the question is difficult and far from being resolved.

              Any update on this ?

              Is there a developer working on it !?
              Is there even a developer seeing this forum ?

              Opera 58.2 is out, but I'm forced to use 57.2 because of this.

                @lucasbs I asked this question here ↓ because I don’t know where else to write.
                https://www.opera.com/en/contact/support-form
                Waiting for an answer.

                      @lexusxp You may download older versions of Opera over the internet. There are infinite sites.

                      Versions above 57.2 don't have the Assist function. But maybe it's my phone.

                      Make sure you backup the browser data (bookmarks, history, open tabs), either through opera's account, or by Titantium Backup (root)

                        Did opera at least acknowledge the existence of this bug !?

                          @lucasbs Nothing yet. When the Opera update comes out, if something changes, I will try not to forget to write here πŸ™‚

                            @lexusxp hm... So, while we are waiting for the results, I’ll probably use this kind of crutch πŸ™‚
                            https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devhomc.search (found this solution on Reddit)
                            It's much better then nothing and makes 99% of what needed:
                            Home button long tap -> search bar with focus on keyboard -> search results in Opera

                            Thank you all, nice forum, but question is not closed, of course.

                                  No. I use "SearchBar Ex" for this option. Try to use it with Opera. It's OK imho

                                    That app seems cool but I like this one here a lot better:

                                    Seems to solve my issue although I'd prefer if opera put the function back...

                                          Not gonna update before someone tell me this was fixed

                                          How many months has it been ?

                                          I'm receiving endless popups about updating opera. Wish I could shove these popups on a private area of the developer that removed the feature.

                                          Third party is out of question

                                            @lexusxp same here.

                                            Opera was available to replace google assistant as a web page launcher
