      I don't even use the search box, I search in the address bar - and the dropdown there does include icons for the search engines.

        Don't have a drop down menu on my address bar,
        I guess I am missing something.
        If I had that would be OK

          Actually there is some sort of it, If you start typing in the address bar you get the suggestions as usual and underneath that there is a "bar" with the search engines you can choose from.

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

              Now, how can I add my additional search engines as default?
              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

                You can't.

                It should.

                  The added search engines doesn't appear in the drop down box.

                  I have seen a lot of post regarding the inability to edit the default search engines so I will stick with Vivaldi

                    If they are added, then they should appear.

                    Did you create them or did you copy/replaced the Web Data file?

                          @fyrekrig We were thinking about a drop down menu not search engine manager.

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

                            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!

                              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?

                                It happens in the Stable profile too.

                                      It appears:

                                      0_1513124240896_2017-12-13_011532.png

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

                                        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.

                                            Have now edited the search engine .json as per earlier posts
                                            by using siteprefs.json and renaming it to default_partner_content.json
                                            and putting it back in D:\PortApps\Opera\profile\data and D:\PortApps\Opera\49.0.2725.47\resources

                                            Now it works as I hoped it would!1_1513130620000_02.png 0_1513130619999_01.png
