Why doesn't "Create Search Engine..." (in Context Menu) appear everywhere it should?

Why doesn't "Create Search Engine..." (when you right-click on a search box) appear when it should?

It does not appear in http://web.archive.org/.
Happily, "Create Search Engine..." appears in https://web.archive.org/web/20170807102201/http://www.fsf.org/

Why doesn't it appear in the former?

It's available in the Search box in the corner, not where you indicated.

My bad, I checked it on archive.org, not on WEB.archive.org. As seen on the pics here, the search box on web.archive.org did not allow me to create a search engine

Why not? Software should make it easy for humans. We humans shouldn't have to work around software.

Ask them. Opera can only look at the page and see if something looks like a search field.

I also made a wrong paste of the imgur link! Here is the right one

thanks, Jim_P.

First two have the "Create Search Engine" option. The third doesn't.

Yes, thats why I posted 3 screenshots. The search box on WEB.archive.org is the one that lacks the "create search engine" option, the other 2 have it as expected.
