Hello, it annoys me that only a few default search engines exist and i would really appreciate it if the Opera team adds more search engines or adds support for custom search engines.

Examples

• Default search engines
  Ecosia, Qwant

• Fallback search engines
  If Ecosia gives back a message with 5 starting, like 504 then Opera should automatically use another search engine like Qwant.

@ever1337 Users have been asking Opera this for many years actually since the Windows 7 days. Opera has yet to lift a finger or reply to this suggestion.

Since the company's choosen defaults are giving them some kind of revenue, I don't think they will allow to select your own.

Despite others do.

I'd just like to add my support to ever1337's feature request - specifically custom search engines (I'm going for Ecosia but all should be allowed).

Maybe if enough users voice their support this feature will be added.
