Thanks for trying but that doesn't work either. I have tried everything and will just give up and go back to Chrome. Not worth wasting any more time over.

I added some manually, others by copying them from Chrome. I tried changing the shortcuts and that didn't work. Nothing seems to work so I am stuck with the same question. Why does this work in Chrome for all of my search engines but only one of the shortcuts in Opera works? The rest of the shortcuts just get pushed into google as search strings. Makes no sense to me and I can't figure it out. I love Opera but this one problem will push me back to Chrome - I use the shortcuts all the time.

I checked the shortcuts - they are correct. They don't work though. Any other ideas?

I'm using Opera 25 on Windows 7. I managed to import all of my search engines from Chrome into Opera 25 but none of the shortcuts work. For example, in Chrome if I type "Ctr-L" (which takes me to the Address Bar), type "ys" (my shortcut in Chrome for "http://sports.yahoo.com") and then hit "Enter", Chrome navigates to Yahoo Sports. When I try the same thing in Opera, it uses the default search engine (google) and searches for the string "ys" instead of taking me to Yahoo Sports. The same thing happens for all of my other search engines - works fine in Chrome but not in Opera. Oddly enough, the only other one that does work in Opera is my shortcut for Ixquick (i). In Opera, typing "i" into the address bar and then hitting "Enter" takes me to Ixquick. None of the the others work.

Any ideas?
