      Hi everyone, I switched to Opera from Chrome recently. I ported all of my most popular custom search engines to Opera. My favorite is r= is my shortcut to getting to a reddit subreddit of my choosing. But Opera doesn't seem to actually recognize these custom search engines.

      When i go to the address bar and type r= followed by tab or space, nothing shows up. I have already restarted Opera after making the change and I can see the change in my settings. Any ideas?

        @ballmersleak You need to write the search term after the space and press enter, so Opera will open Reddit and search for that term.

        And, of course, you need to add the search engine first.
