I have Opera Version 74.0.3911.154.
How can I disable the Google search function in the url-address field, meaning: as soon as I enter even a known url, this will lead to a Google search.

@tino45 you can't disable it as far as I know. However, if you type a url, you will ne lead to it.

@leocg That's exactly the problem: If I enter directly a known URL, Opera immediately adds the (Google) search symbol in front of it, even before I hit the enter button.

@tino45 When you start typing in the address bar, Opera will show the logo/favicon of the search engine in use. As soon as a URL is detected, that logo will turn into the globe icon that indicates that you are going to a website.
