Change default search engine problem

For the search engines I created, the "make default" is greyed out. Can this be fixed somehow?

@gaboruklem As already said, only the pre-defined search engines can be set as the default one.

If it will change in the future, only time will tell

@gaboruklem For your prefered search engine to be „standard“ there are only workarounds:

1. You may have chosen Ecosia as your search engine, then you may set „e“ as prefix before every search in your address bar.
2. You could also set ecosia.org or whatever search you like as your „homepage“ in Opera.
3. You could also create a shortcut to Ecosia e.g. to your speed dial.
4. You could add a search engine‘s extension to Opera.

@leocg I thought maybe someone has already found a solution for it in some form (extension, flag, etc...), I didn't necessarily mean the original setting. But I could have been clearer, that's true.
