      Recently i've upgraded Opera to newest Opera Touch , which have a couple new things and one of them - Instant Search.It's very cool but I can't change default search from Yandex to Google ( In my country Yandex blocked on government level). I wrote about this problem to Opera Support and they gave me feedback:

      Thank you for your notification. Instant Search used search from your Speed Dials, not URL-bar. If you want to change search engine in Instant Search please, use short-cuts ( you can set your own or use default:

      g[Space] yourGoogleSearch
      y[Space]yourYahooSearch
      w[Space]yourWikipediaSearch etc.

      I tryed added new search engine using these short-cuts,but it didn't work (

      So..I don't know why I can't resolve this problem - because of language barrier or I just don't get it)) Please help

        @cer You can't change the search engine used by instant search but, as you noticed, you can use another one's keyword to search on instant search.

            @dlarmgo As explained before, Instant Search uses the search engine in start page, which also can't be changed.
