            Still no chance to bring back instant search or at least let us have it in flags so it's up to us wether we enable it or not? I assume not as it seems.

            In August i decided to not use Opera anymore due to not providing the excellent instant search anymore.

            I resorted to use the ueli app, a neat and terrific keystroke launcher, and settled for brave browser as my main browser.

            I wish Opera would bring instant search back. It made Opera truly superiour to other browsers.

            You think you know, but you have no idea.

              Too bad that it's gone, that was without a doubt, the best feature of opera

                I really want to thank you for this tip.
                Mouse gestures and Instant Search were my main reasons of using opera and they just removed one of them in 68.

                I've been using Opera67 just for the sake of Instant Search. I even deleted opera_autoupdater to prevent upgrades but somehow it managed to upgrade itself yesterday.

                Trufflepiggy is not good as instant search right now, but devs assured me they are working on it.
                I want to thank you sincerely.

                  @alexmercer97 i resorted to use ueli app and brave browser.
                  And i am very pleased with both. Ueli is truly great, have grown highly fond of it.
                  Can only recommend.

                  You think you know, but you have no idea.

                    @acidinmyfridge i downloaded ueli app, it uses alt+space shortcut just like instant search, but only searches apps in my computer which is not necessary for me. I'm already using voidtools' "everything" app for that purpose.
                    but still, thank you.

                      @alexmercer97 No it does not only search apps and files. You can set a web search too (or in fact many other searches, any you want: imdb, youtube, wiki etc).
                      I use it for websearch all the time, it is so so convenient.

                      You think you know, but you have no idea.
