@jclaude As already said some times before, the search box in start page is not related to the default search engine and can not be changed, just hidden.

Hi leocg !
Thank you for your answer !
Alas, that does not arrange me ! I become allergic to Google and the page starting of Opera will finish by me giving sick …
Off course I can masked this Google Bar , but it is well damage which the developers of Opera does not want to upset their sponsor !!
Thank you

The Google Search box on the speed dial start page can be disabled.

You just have to tick the following box in settings:

opera://settings/ > Browser
Section 'Start Page'

Hide search box
