I have the same issue which started in the last week or two. In my case, when I first open Opera and enter in a search in the search field om my speed dial page, the search results only have the first 2 characters of the search terms or phrase that I entered, Opening a new tap and performing the search again works fine.

Opera 99.0.4788.77 though it started at a previous 99.0.4788.x version.

My experience is that clearing browsing data only gives temporary relief for the various performance issues in Opera.

For this particular problem I added a Google tile to my speed dial. I just click on that to open google.com then do my search from there.

To be honest though, between this issue, the annoying startup sound that can't be turned off, and the slowly growing list of sites that just don't work right with Opera... I'm thinking of just dropping it and switching to something else as my primary browser. A real shame after over 15 years using Opera as my main browser.
