<![CDATA[How do I set duckduckgo as Default search program?]]>I changed Settings to make Duckduckgo the default search program but that works only when entering search criteria on the combined search and address bar. But when I start Opera by selecting its shortcut it still comes up with a default search screen

Default Startup Search Screen.jpg using google.

How do I changed that?

Yeah, I've been doing that. Just didn't know why Google was showing up below that for searching when I chose DDG as my default. Thanks. I'll just ignore the Google search bar.

Anybody else know if it's possible to make both search areas the same default browser (in my case DuckDuckGo)?
