I just downloaded Opera to use instead of Chrome, and I do NOT want to use Google as my search engine. Why does Opera ask which search engine I want to use as my default, and give me lots of choices including Bing and DuckDuckGo, and then not actually use it? Since the google bar is what appears on my default page, I'm clicking on Bing in my bookmarks instead. But here's my real question: What are they using as a search engine in their actual URL bar? How can we know?

RE: different search engines for instant searchSuggestions and feature requests
Okay, I answered my own question by typing a search in the URL... and it defaulted to DuckDuckGo, as I requested. So at least I can rest assured that when I type a search in the URL bar, it will use not use Google, which is my biggest concern. I hardly ever use a "search bar" to do a search anyway. It's the URL search that's important.
