<![CDATA[Opera GX Searches redirecting to yahoo.]]>Google is set to my default browser, but whenever I attempt to search anything, it redirects the search to yahoo in Opera GX.
I've triple checked my browser settings. When searching, the logo in the address bar is for Google. I've tried disabling all extensions and running a virus scan and that did not resolve either.
Clearing cache and cookies will fix it for a short while but it returns within an hour. Any advice on what else I can try?

Where on the drop-down menu Google was my default engine, on the list there, the three dots next to Yahoo were indicating that Yahoo was my default search engine, so go to Google on the list and click the three dots next to it and select "make default." I don't know how I somehow changed it to Yahoo without knowing, but the problem is solved now.

I tried using DuckDuckGo but it's results are not as good as Google and I updated Opera GX and it still didn't work.
