          @aaqasmzad If it's not on the list of pre-defined search engines, it can't be used as the default one.

              @aaqasmzad Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling Opera? You may need to create a new profile directory.

                  @aaqasmzad The list of pre-defined search engines depends on the region you are. Maybe Opera was installed when you were in a different place?

                    @leocg I saw a post about this topic. The mod said change the country and country_from_server to US at the Local state file. I did it. But nothing happened

                      @leocg It's fixed.
                      Every time I install opera I was ticking "make opera gx default browser". But last time I didn't. When it installed google was deafult by itself. And the past search engines are not even in the list like in my pc. Thank you for your help mod. I appreciate it ❤

                        Is Linux support for Opera GX on the road map by any chance?

                          @captainlian We will only know if and when a Linux version is released.

                            There is just no option for it. In settings where search engines is there just Yandex, wiki and translator. I reinstalled Opera from official site. doesnt help

                                @leocg Is there a way to contact the devs to know if they're working on it? Is there also a way to support that venture?

                                  @captainlian Nope, there isn't. The only way to know is Opera publicly saying something about it.

                                          @ibraking09 As already said, depending on the file type and/or extension, the save as dialog will always show up for security reasons.

                                            @jaekobcaed You can use your custom search engine in the address bar even though you can't make it default. It will also be listed in the search pop up (ie right click on a highlighted word and choose "search with").
                                            Add your custom search engine by
                                            Go to Settings.
                                            Under Search engine, click the Manage Search Engine button.
                                            Enter it's name; URL; and give it a Keyword
                                            Then when you want to use it in your address bar, just use the keyword and space then your query.!search pop up with new search engine.PNG
                                            Here I've added Freespoke and given it the Keyword [f]. If I want to use it in the address bar I would type> f what I'm searching for
