      You mean clicking the three vertical dots on the far right doesn't bring up a "make default" pop-up message?

                  me although I try other search engines, I always go back to google, everyone wants to appear there, since it is the most used, except to look for things that can not be counted, for that I use yandex

                                @negivare Only those pre-configured search engines can be set as default one.

                                  @negivare You can add any search engine but you can't make it the default one.

                                    If you wanted Yandex as a default search engine, you'd have to convince Opera that you were located in a country where Yandex was a default search engine - such as Russia or the Ukraine. Not impossible - see the FAQ about country codes.
