<![CDATA[I can't change the search engine]]>Hello, I deleted Opera and reinstalled it. After installing it, when I opened Opera, my search engine was Yandex. I changed it in the settings. When I opened a new tab, the search engine was still stuck on Yandex. When I looked at the settings again, it showed Google as the search engine. When I tried to delete Yandex, I logged out of the application. When I re-entered, I couldn't delete any search engines. How can I change my search engine in Opera to Google?

That makes sense now. Hopefully, they’ll add the option to customize the start page search in future updates.

Even after setting Google as the default, the start page still shows Yandex. It’s a bit confusing since the settings show Google, but the behavior doesn’t match. I hope Opera adds more flexibility in managing search engines in future updates.

Also, pre-defined search engines can't be removed.
