@cutebunnygaming10 hey i think i might have found the solution...hopefully u haven't tried & failed at this too.

so go to the browser settings>basic>start page>hide search box...i dont keep mine on, but when i turned mine off, i got a search engine search bar on my speed dial page

@cutebunnygaming10 u don't even have Bing in your options. Google's 3 dots are greyed out coz it's already ur default. if u look at my screenshot u can see Yahoo's 3 dots greyed out coz it's already my default. but i have Bing in my option list whereas u don't for some reason.

have u tried Add site search, below the option list?

@cutebunnygaming10 what i mean is, have u always had this problem since you've been using Opera GX, or did it work before?

@cutebunnygaming10 i see...are u in russia by any chance? i noticed u have a russian search engine in your options....i'm not an expert in all this I.T stuff, but the settings are pretty simple and if u dont have the same options as me...there are 2 possibilites:

1. Bing is banned in ur country
2. maybe Opera GX uses your country IP to automate suggestions/options for u & Bing isn't one of them.

I really wish i could help more, i myself was looking for help for my question because i had to restore my computer & when i signed into Opera GX it didn't restore everything automatically...then i saw ur post from 3 days ago & no1 had answered, so i thought i'd answer thinking it was easy enough even for me to help u with
