[Opera Mobile 11] Change default search engine
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?

To add engines tap the search bar, tap the google icon/drop bar.
Select manage search engine at the bottom. |
Re: [Opera Mobile 11] Change default search engine
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.

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

Re: [Opera Mobile 11] Change default search engine
Never thought of trying it in Opera. It's a piece of p*ss to change on the desktop version. Maybe gat a few ideas from there.

Re: [Opera Mobile 11] Change default search engine
Please see this thread for a solution. I focused on Opera Mobile 12, but probably it'll work in version 11, too.

/opt/ directories are different. |
Re: [Opera Mobile 11] Change default search engine
Ok, another blind shot:
According to this post about Opera Mobile 11 the skin-vga.rsc ist located at /usr/share/operamobile/browser/bream/ Otherwise, just search for it: Code:
find / -name skin-vga.rsc 2> /dev/null |

Edit:- No such file using find and usr/share has no opera or operamobile. /opt/opera/share/browser has a skin-vga-multi.rsc and skin-hvga-multi.rsc but these have no search engine information in them. |

Can you provide the original Opera Mobile 11 Package you are using? |
Re: [Opera Mobile 11] Change default search engine
I found it myself here. At least this matches the path you described (/opt/opera/share/browser/skin-vga-multi.rsc) and is major version 11.
This file looks sufficient similar to that one I inspected. "Google" and its URLs start at offset 0xAC48. |
