In Opera One and Opera Developer is the right click entry on a search field "Create search engine" gone.
It is still present in Opera GX and Opera Air. -

It seems the feature has been removed for some reason.
However, when you visit supported sites like Youtube that tell browsers how to search the site, you will see that a search engine for it is now automatically added to the
opera://settings/searchEnginespage where all you have to do is click "Activate" for it, and then edit its keyword if you want.You can get to the
opera://settings/searchEnginespage fast by right-clicking in the address field and choosing "Edit search engines". Or, you can bookmark theopera://settings/searchEnginesURL as a speed dial or bookmark. -

Thanks for this.My most used search has always been on maps.google.com. After reading your post and the description of how it works now I was surprised that a search wasn't created. Especially after noticing that a search that I had to activate was created for drive.google.com (I was able to create my own search for that site).

OMG
The "easiest" way for me now is to open Vivaldi:- right-click on a the search field
- Add as Search Engine...
and transfer the values to Opera.

I don't understang the logic at all...
I don't understand why it was changed this way. If doing like this, there should be just option whether to automatically add engines or not while visiting sites.Btw, here even not active engines are displayed in the right click menu...
So instead of adding/editing search engine during the creating is need first activate it (but actually it's already active partially, for the context menu) an then edit.
Another one 'genius' implementation of the well working feature.
