Opera - latest downloadable version (just downloaded today 4/10/22)

I spent some time in settings, specifically choosing DuckDuckGo as my Default search engine. I've rebooted and double checked this change more than twice yet Google remains the default search engine.

How can I make my choice change work?

Thank you.

default search engine

It is using duckduckgo. I've been referring to the search tool at the mid top of every newly opened tab (named "Speed Dial." Why isn't that changed as well?

We are talking about the address bar, right? And you are not starting the search with a g followed by a space, are you?

No change to the search engine being used = google.
