        Hi Josh, thanks for your reply. I already had a look at that thread, and that file already has the right info:

        "location": {

        "country": "uy",

        "country_from_server": "UY",

        The issue here, is that as said before, UY does not point to any direction in defaultpartnercontent.json

        In summary, any country that is not in that list, will just take google.com as default. Let me state clear than www.google.com.UY does exist.

          Viejodelabolsa, try accept Google tracking. Are you logged in?

          You mean Uruguay is not in Opera's language list maybe, don't you?
          What's your install? Localised?

            Google already knows my position, because it accurately points where I am at Google Maps. So I think the problem is not with Google, but with Opera. Also, if I type google.com it redirects to google.com.uy, but I don't get the same result using the Speed dial search,

            Curious is the fact that if I set country editing the Local State file, to for example Fr (France), it does the job with google.fr. Same with Brazil and .br. But setting it to Uruguay (UY) will just make the Speed dial search into Google.com

              There are also some curious issues with the Yahoo! preset search (old Opera).

              Is it possible to edit that search?
              I tried getting a normal Yahoo!, and copypasted the query line from "get search" to the old preset (haven't checked it yet).

                Because of this issue I am now trying Vivaldi, which is slightly slower right now in beta version but has customizable search.
                I'd be glad to come back to opera, if someone could help me.

                      Hi Josh, it is not a Google problem. Www.google.com.uy does exist, but it is not listed in Opera's code.
                      If I put in Opera e.g that I live in Brazil, It will automatically re-direct to www.google.com.BR
                      BUT
                      If I put in Opera that I live in Uruguay (I do), it will not automatically re-direct to www.google.com.UY
                      Instead it searches in www.google.com and not local results are given.

                        That's crap.
                        I wish you have a response from the developers.
