      Hi
      Does anyone have a working solution for changing the default google.com search engine to google.co.nz?
      It is annoying because country-specific search options only show when you use the .co.nz domain instead of the .com and changing google account settings isnt the solution.

      It appears that whenever opera sends a query to the url google.com/searchqueryvariables i want it to send it to google.co.nz/searchqueryvariables instead.

      Any help is very much appreciated.

        No. You can't edit default search engines. Changing the language in Opera to en-NZ doesn't make Opera change the search URL used. Neither does setting the root/location country codes in the Local State file to NZ or en-NZ.
