<p dir="auto">Since a week ago i am having an issue with the search function of Opera.<br />
I just always search for things in the url bar, which also indicates when i type something that it's going to search on Google Search. However when i press enter it's on google for a split second and then redirects to Bing search engine.</p>
<p dir="auto">I am aware that there a default search engines with keywords in the setting but i have no clue how to use these.<br />
The default is on google, and i never ever had any other search engine take over a search before except for Bing.</p>
<p dir="auto">Frustratingly i've read over and over that you can't remove Bing from Opera because of some reason (involving money I guess. That's just my assumption because no one ever elaborates on why it can't be removed.)</p>
<p dir="auto">So does anyone have a clue as to how i can stop Bing from taking over my searches? If i try to search for this problem on Google (or Bing) all the solutions are Malware based but that's not the case here.</p>
<p dir="auto">How do i use those keywords? How can i never ever have to look at that god forsaken copycat search engine?</p>
<p dir="auto">Any help would be much appreciated!</p>
<p dir="auto">Here's an example:<br />

And apologies for the frustrated tone in the main post, if i could edit it i would.</p>
