[Speed Dial] Make Speed Dial's search engine match the default search engine instead of sponsored search engine

@darthgtb Could not agree more. Having a search bar in the Speed Dial thingy, without being able to change its engine is... so very 1996

Here is a suggestion ticket opened in the official issue tracker:

opera.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/9/BS-63729

@darthgtb Just a remind that the issue tracker is not public, so posting a those links here will not be helpful.

@leocg I've opened an issue about that as well. It should be public.

But adding the link back will give you guys the opportunity to go there from here as well as show other users this option exists and they probably should be posting there as well, not only here.

@darthgtb I also don't have access to it. And the chances of those requests not being duplicated are very low.

@leocg that's why these should be public. It's literally my point in the ticket I opened about this

@darthgtb Like is written in the bug repot page:

If your bug is a topic in Opera's community forums, a report has likely been filed by someone from the community. Additional reports will be marked as duplicates.

So you just need to search here.

@leocg debatable, but I can see where you're coming from. Still, I've never seen anybody with a dev label in the forum, so I have no indication if something posted here was indeed raised to the dev team, so I'd rather post in both places

But sure, I usually search for it here first. Right now I'm just paralleling my older posts to match new issues and older issues to new posts

@darthgtb This is more of a forum for users, you should not expect Opera employees to reply here although they may do it eventually.

Suggestions and bug reports here are taken in consideration.

@leocg more reason to open tickets in Jira then. Thanks for corroborating with my reasoning

@darthgtb I'm not corroborating with it, I don't think that bug tracking system should be opened.

Opera not replying to suggestions and feature requests doesn't mean that their tracking system should be public. One thing has nothing to do with the other.

By the way, the current system seems to be already opened for the reporter.

@leocg that's not what I meant. What I meant is that since we can't check the tickets, the only way to be sure it was opened is by opening one, even if duplicate. If it's duplicate, I'm happy to see a dev telling me that in the ticket more than on the forum, exactly because this is a forum and L1 support is, from what I've seen, done by volunteers like yourself and not Opera employees

All I'm saying is, keep the discussion in the forum, but if there is a suggestion or bug report beyond the mere discussion, also post in the issue tracker.

Another reason for me to post the link here to the issue tracker is just so other users searching for it in the forum know for sure there is an issue opened with the dev team already, so they don't open a duplicate one

If the Opera product team cared about feedback from some of the most experienced and demanding browser users on the planet, they would follow and log the discussions on this forum. There is no point in you doing their job by submitting tickets. Open-source reports are readily available here.

Choosing to disregard such a valuable source of information could be Opera's downfall.

@darthgtb You can post only the bug ID since the link to it will not be very useful.

Also, regarding suggestions and requests, the idea would be to discuss it here, see if there are people interest in it and, then, post it in the tracking system.
