<![CDATA[[Duplicated]Add Custom Search Engine and Change Default]]>I know, via searches, that Opera has refused to allow this. With the fall of Google and the rise of paid search like Kagi this feature is more needed than ever.

I pay for Kagi. Without this feature I literally can't and won't use Opera browser. I'm going to choose the service I pay for over a "free" browser.

Opera, remove the gun from your foot and add this feature otherwise you can expect to lose whatever little market share you have.

It really sours my opinion of Opera that I can't customize my own search engine, like how dare you!?!?

Please, Opera devs, just stop disabling the feature from Chrome, there's literally negative work involved

I would prefer Opera, but this limitation pushed me back to Edge...
