      I traveled to China once Browser search engine is default to Baidu, I can't find Google search engine in opera settings>search engine What should I do?
      When I went back to the US, my browser search engine still default to Baidu.
      Now every time I search for something, I have to visit google.com first and then type in what I need to search for, it's a pain in the ass.

      no google search engine

          @leocg I don't want to reinstall Opera
          Please delete the malicious scripts in your Opera default search engine settings.

          Or allow users to "customize the default search engine URL" new function

                This is malicious code from Opera, it is intentional. Once you use the Opera Google search engine with a Chinese network IP, it will disappear.
                This is very bad for us opera who travel to China.
