Just posted about this in the Opera for Windows section. That's it then? That's how it will be?
Hi, all,
So a problem I've been having with Opera for ages today became unfixable. When you install Opera, you get a bunch of search engines built right in, such as Yahoo (using keyword y). I don't use Yahoo, and would like to use the keyword y for Yahoo, as I have for years. Alas, for some reason, it is impossible to delete the built-in search engines. I found a fix a while ago (on this link https://forums.opera.com/post/38687_15178242), and as ridiculous as it was that I had to redelete/rename this file every time Opera updated, it worked. Every time I tried a wikipedia search with w (pretty much the only reason why I use Opera) and got the Dutch wikipedia page instead (I'm currently living in the Netherlands), I knew it had been silently updated, went and deleted "default_partner_content.json" and carried on with my life. Except that with the most recent update (I'm guessing it was today, version number 31.0.1889.99), deleting or renaming said file will throw an error when you try to launch the program: "At least one file with resources (.pak) is corrupted. Please reinstall Opera." Bringing back the file will make Opera word again as usual (along with all the search engines I don't want).
Has anyone else stumbled upon this? Is there a fix in sight? Can Opera just cut this crap already, either by ceasing to force these search engines on us or letting us change them?
Thanks
