        @blaker-positiv You can't. However, you can use the search engine keyword to search on it using instant search.

          Is there any chance it will be fixed in future releases?

            @mikemiers It's not a bug to be fixed, but maybe in the future they will change that and allow choosing the search engine.

              I agree with topic author. If it's not a bug, then it's VERY strange behaviour or developers logic (or just money/sponsors). My default search engine is NOT Yandex, so why should they insist that I should use Yandex within instant search.

                @exc As already said, instant search uses start page search engine, that (also) can not be changed.

                  1. Close browser
                  2. Search for C:\Users<User_name>\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Local State file
                  3. Open with notepad
                  4. Search for country "location":{"country":"ua","country_from_server":"UA".. string
                  5. Change "ua" and "UA" to "us" and "US"
                  6. If it does not help, change to "en" and "EN"

                  **Sorry for my English
