      How can I change my search engine from Yandex on the start page (I'm from Russia)? I thought for a long time it isn't possible for some reason, but I instaled OperaGX on my laptop and somehow it changed to google, I don't understand what exact setting I changed. I even syncronized the two but Yandex bar is still there on PC. My default serch engine is set to google and I can use it from the adress bar.Screenshot_1.png

        You can't change the search engine for the search field on the start page. However, while Opera is closed, if you edit the "Local State" file in the profile folder and change the country and country_from_server codes to US, you might get Google. Might depend on what language you have Opera set to display in at the URL opera://settings/languages too.
