@burnout426 Thank you for this workaround. You've saved me twice. I hope this does get fixed.

Thank you for this. It had become unchecked. My custom search engines were still working fine, but the defaults weren't. Clicked the box and restarted Opera. All fixed.

I noticed this a while back with the default Search Engine for Amazon.com; using Z just did a default Google search for whatever I was looking for. I made a custom search using A (for Amazon, but also the A key is next to Z).

Recently, the W key has stopped going to Wikipedia, and now just does a Google search. I have made a new custom search engine using Q (for query, but also the Q is next to W).

I just ran through all the preset search engines, and none of them seem to be working except for Google (which is set as my default search engine).

If it's possible, can this be fixed? Or, if the presets are not going to actually be functional anymore, is it possible to release the keys so that I can make a custom search engine using those keys how I want to?

I am not crazy! I miss this, too.

Every time Opera updates lately, the spell checker gets turned off. It's happened to me twice in the last month, and I'm here in the forums because it happened today and I hate it. Check your settings.

@hellas - Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
