            @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

                                    For future reference, goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and edit the "Local State" file in the profile folder with a text editor, or JSONedit in tree mode. You want to change the country and country_from_server values to a country code that allows Bing like US. Then, save your changes. In JSONedit, you'll find them under root/location.
