      Hello!

      I was using this for many years without any issue but since a couple of days, when I enter a custom amazon search in my address bar such as "z blabla", it will now try to search for "blabla" on Amazon US instead of DE and I have no clue why.
      Anyone have an idea? My region is set to GER, euro, etc. Like it should be.

      Thanks for your help,
      Jack

        @jackmayolbk Isn't it common by big company policy, redirecting to its disposal ?

          @jackmayolbk If you use the built-in Google search, does it redirect to google.de?

          Alternatively, did you clear cookies just before this happened?

            when making a search, it uses google.com as expected. Everything seems to work fine beside this amazon issue from what I can tell. I didn't clear cookies either.

                @mardiyah looks I can't edit the main post, but entering "z blabla" mainly outputs me there:

                https://www.amazon.com/s?k=blabla&link_code=qs&tag=opera-20

                I guess before it was the same link just with *.de instead of *.com

                  oh well, as I didn't find any solution to my issue, I just created a new custom search for amazon.de as it really started to annoy me. Hopefully I will get used to the new letter after using "z" for ages.
