@cska133 When I click on address bar, it shows me a bar where I can choose the search engine and the Ask AI button.

@leocg i got more confused.
I upgraded to the current Beta version 96.0.5010. But still i dont see any new item on the search bar. It still looks exactely how it looks on my older Opera stable version 91 - no new search selection, no new search button, no AI button, absolutely nothing...See screenshots

While searching...

Only new is Opera logo and weather widget on the Opera start page (where the speed dials, news etc are) BUT these can be disabled in the settings, there is a toggle there. Next to the speed dials there was/is also a speed dial button "ask AI", but 1. this speed dial can be removed from the start page and 2. "Ask AI" leeds to the settings, where Ask KI option can be turned off.

So, dont know why you all here have such items in the search bar.
@leocfg sorry to bother you again , could you please check Opera for you and clarify (btw, i still can not understand are you using the beta or stable version, or have you installed/tested the beta version?)
Thank you

@cska133 Maybe it depends on the device.

@leocg ok, but you can for sure confirm that you have these new items in the search bar?

And you use beta or the stable version. Can not understand what you mean above, you dont use the stable one or i should not use it?

@leocg ah you use the Beta ok. And the beta you have has new search items in the search bar, what is different for me - i dont have any new items in the search selection.
This is strange. Maybe because i use it on tablet , and you?

@cska133 Like I said, it may depend on device. I use OfA on phone only.

That's very poor UX. The worst part is that you can't change search engine by tapping on it, instead you need to tap the arrow button that is to the right of the Ask AI button!

@cska133 It's the same on my phone and tablet, Opera 95.3. It shows up when you tap on the address field

@zerxx its crazy, i dont have that view. When I tap on the adress field I get the old behaviour still looking like this screenshot
Maybe is has something to do with the tab bar view. I do have tabs enabled and sitting on top of the search/address bar. How it is on you?

i think i got the aswer of at least my mysterium of why i dont have that view. It is because of the toggle of the setting "Opera AI" in the Opera settings. I have it disabled. When i enable it, than i get the same view and buttons over the search field as shown in the screenshot of @zerxx

@cska133 I couldn't find that "Opera AI" toggle in settings. Is it hidden somewhere?

[cska133]

@zerxx hidden?! It is the first setting in the Opera settings. It is also present in many places in the settings. For example open Settings and right after that it should be the first settings option over the Vpn toggle. Also you can find it unter the search section in the settings, where search machine , search suggestions etc. Also i had default speed dial button on the start page in Opera, called Aks AI - it leads you than to the same place in the settings. But actually in you screenshot you post above, when you click on the Settings unter the search field, it should get you also there.
And last hint, in Opera settings you have search option where you can find settings. There is a search field in the Opera settings, type there AI and it should give the places in the settings where it is present. Maybe in your set language AI is called different, in German it is KI.
So did you find it now?

@zerxx have you found it?

@cska133 I don't have it unfortunately. I'm in Russia, and since vpn setting is disabled based on the region, I guess it affects the AI toggle as well

So the only way to get rid of that search / address bar screen currently is to rollback to v92 or similar
