In most occurences, the search bar shows strictly no URLs, no recommendations, no history, nothing. It expands only slightly as shown in the picture. Pressing enter does nothing. If I open a dozen of tabs, this will do it for like 8 of them - 2 working normally. This renders Opera completely unusable for me, and does the same on Beta.

Beta worked fine until I logged into my opera account - then it did the same thing, hinting that my history probably causes problems in the search bar

Thanks for chiming in. It's important to hear from Opera on one of the most central features (search and navigation).

Can confirm that the just released 72.0.3815.211 doesn't solve the issue yet. But it's good to know it's being addressed.

I'm having the same problem. I was previously on version 72.0.3815.186. I've just restored the browser at default settings and updated to 72.0.3815.211, but problem's still there.

I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64Bit build 20H2.

I'm having the same issue here, Opera Beta Version:73.0.3856.31, using a Windows 10 PC.

Super annoying bug.

We are currently investigating this issue and looking for a fix. We will release update as soon as we resolve the problem.

Hi, it seems I found a way to go around this just by clearing the cache!
It's working back since I did it.

I managed to make this work again just by clearing the cache! It's working fine since I did it this morning

Clearing cache doesn't fix a thing, issue still persists, update didn't fix it.

I found out that you can open a secound empty tab and then the first one works just fine.

"clear all browser data" has no affect on this issue

Win10 x64
Opera 72.0.3815.211

my observation:
shortly after starting opera browser or opening a new tab it seems to work correct, bookmark-suggestions respectively search-suggestions on typing into adress-bar are shown ... but then the issue returns randomly ...
