      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.

            let's assume you are geek and you have your own search engine (whoogle, searX) on premise, and you want to have the possibility of searching in internet freely (not relying in the poor results from Duck, YAnswers, bings & bongs, etc...) but configuring your own search engines, it should be allowed. If it's a matter of money, I do not think we are so many the ones that uses "personalised" search engines so.. why not making happy to the users which are really looking forward to use it.

            You can always add a new search engine and then start your search by adding the letter you used as keyword (me wh for whoogle or X for searX) but it's not done automatically by the app.

              I am uninstalling opera GX for this very reason. Sucks, it's been a good browser otherwise.

                I just hope that opera listens to this request and make it possible to change the default search engine to any custom search engine as the user wishes. such a basic thing yet its still missing

                    there appears to be no way to delete search engines or add new ones. One of the search engines is amazon... really?

                    there are so many other better search engines out there it would be great to be able to use them and replace things like ddg, google and "amazon" what's up with that? Who uses amazon as a search engine?

                        @morganhendricks In essence what they need to do here is completely replicate Vivaldi's functionality. Vivaldi is my No. 2 browser but it's getting ever closer to being No. 1 due to this and other issues.
