Same here, I type a phrase in and only the first two letters appear. Usually when I use Google search.

@czarkhasm This is an older post but I thought that I would update it with more information. I came across this because Opera version 116.x.x wouldn't update on Win 11. I've been an Opera user for a long time. I looked at my Settings - App and it indicated that I was running two versions of Opera 115 and 116. Thinking that 115 was the problem, I uninstalled it. Unfortunately, it broke Opera. I tried uninstalling 116 and it said it couldn't find opera.exe.

No problem, went and downloaded the latest Opera setup program and when it went to install, I received the error message "Cannot install Opera on top of existing installation" and pointed to "C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera"

Looking in "C\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera", there were about 7 versions folders of Opera present, typically 11x and up. I could still run Opera from one of the folders but it wouldn't update either through the Opera update menu or with the setup program. The Opera startup logo was the Opera Install logo so something was definitely wrong.

Also looking in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera" there were quite a few early versions of Opera: pre-Chromium I believe.

After a lot of fiddling around, trying this and that, I deleted the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera" and "C\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera" for a clean install. I was hesitate to do this because I wasn't sure that I would lose my user configuration. Fortunately, it is stored elsewhere.

Once I deleted those folders I was able to install the latest version and it was able to check for updates.

@eugeneb I will type a phrase in Google and hit enter then Google will only search the first two letters.
