<![CDATA[How to make Startpage my Default Search Engine]]>Hello Forum Members, It seems I am unable to make Startpage my default search engine. When I get to the area for that feature it seems like whatever I try to input to make the change seems to show an error or is unresponsive. Please help. Thanks, bklyn

E.g., s "search query."

E.g., here's my setup

Inflexibility in setting default search is a long-standing complaint. Opera should just exactly copy Vivaldi on this.

Since Startpage is not one of the pre-installed search engines, it can't be set as default.
