<![CDATA[Search box drop down menu]]>Using Opera 49. Used Opera in the XP days and did not like the new look of Opera.
However now I am back again to try. Looks OK but the one thing I miss is the search box drop down menu where you instantly could choose your search engine.
What happened! Please put it back or I revert to Vivaldi!

Butt those will not be submitted to Opera/Google as they block those methods in future updates. If you want it, PM me, and I'll see what I can do.

Do you mean harder or easier ways than the @fyrekrig trick?

Sorry the search string was incorrect. Used long time ago in old Opera.

Here is the correct one
https://www.google.se/webhp?gl=se&hl=sv&gws_rd=cr&pws=0&uule=w+CAIQICIJc3RvY2tob2xt&dlnr=1

When added turns up in drop down menu!
Thanks for all your help.
Now only make it possible to edit default search engines and I can start using Opera again.

It appears:

But the string seems to be wrong since a CPU search gives this result.

At least in my Dev profile appears the first fourth custom search engines, I'll check on the Stable one.

Can you provide the search string?

As I said, you can't sst custom search engine as default one.

Don't understand "press cursor down key" !?

As it is now I can add another search engine but unless I can add it to default search engines it will not appear in the drop down menu
