I wish to change my default search bar engine from Google to DuckDuckGo.
I can change it each time but it goes back to google on restarting Opera.
Also can't seem to delete Google engine eithier.
Any Ideas?

Maybe permissions issue on the opera home folder?

I have been wanting to do that. How are you doing that?

To add engines tap the search bar, tap the google icon/drop bar.
Select manage search engine at the bottom.

I tried to do the same thing, but it's impossible :-(
Google default can't be deleted and it will take over any other search engine (independent of it's name) after restarting Opera.
There is no search.ini anywhere to be found. In /home/user/.opera/ds there is a file called 8_all that contains search engines, but when I edit it, Opera somehow overwrites the file with the original ...

According understand is because it connects with opera servers, and so it is impossible to change to another search engine.

Thanks for the tip. I want to change google.com to google.co.uk. Unfortunately, the google setting is readonly.

Isn't that Opera Mini or Opera's "Turbo" function? I am pretty sure settings and search engines are saved locally.

You can add google.co.uk, like I added duckduckgo.com.
Still no solution for changing the default engine tho.

That file is empty for me.

Had a look through all the files in opt/opera can't find anything containing search engine information.
