Suggestion.

I discovered by chance that Edge browser added a 'search in sidebar' feature recently (reminded me about the Opera's 'Instant Search' feature if honestly).
Opera already has 'custom sites' in the sidebar, so add something similar to the sidebar custom sites (some predefined custom site panel) and option in context menu 'search in panel' (maybe add extra option 'search in panel' in search popup).
By the way, it will be also actual for those users who still miss the Instant Search feature.
*If right clicking on a link, there could be an option 'open link in panel' instead of 'search' (similarly to the 'go to web address' option in search popup).
And as was mentioned earlier, to keep the 'search popup' compact some extra button can be added and additional options will be expandable (there will be 'search engines' and 'open/search in sidebar panel' option)

@leocg: No, it doesn’t work, try clicking from the middle of the link and swipe left or right; it drags it and does not select it

If not use extension

@firuz-u7 Well, it's working here. I'm on Opera developer 71 on Windows 10.

@andrew84 Instead of some new "search in sidebar" feature, they should simply bring back Instant Search. Much better.

@hex1984 Simply there's no chance that they return the InstantSearch in near future. But custom sites are in development stage. And if using panel, it's possible to see both main page and the search result at the same time. In case of InstantSearch it looks like a miniature of google search page result (but with small text without possibility to increase it), that's why I never used it. For me is much more easer to open bookmarked Google page and do search (or just create new tab and use search box on start page).
But, of course, I don't mind they keep such features like 'InstantSearch' if someone finds the feature useful.
