I use it a lot with the Disconnect Search extension. For your searces - one click- on the DDG icon on the toolbar, and the search bar comes, so it shouldn't take up space. If you forget to type the d (or the other initial(s) you might have set, the default Opera search engine will take over.įinally, you can even add a separate DuckDuckGo search bar as an extension if you wish. Or whatever other initial (s) you might have selected. If you don't want to use the Disconnect Search Extension, as long as you added to Opera DDG as a search engine, you can enter your search in the main Opera address bar, but have to remember to type 'd' and then your search query.

This same approach works with any other search engine (that is not one of the 5 Opera defaults) that you want to do a search from the main Opera address bar. I think it's a 'd', unless you set it otherwise.

Pay attention there to the inital(s) associated with the engine, or right click on the Opera Address Bar after you have added DDG un order to find the i initial(s). conceal your search so that it is very private.Īlternatively, you can go to the DuckDuckGo search website, and right click the search bar there, and add DuckDuckGo to Opera. search to find information about the Disconnect Search extension, you will see that all of the searches that operate through the extension, including google, bing, yahoo, duckduckgo, etc. Set the Disconnect Search to use DuckDuckGo in its option and set it to use the main Opera Adress Bar, and Duckduckgo will essentially operate as your default search vehicle via the extension. You can add the Opera 'Disconnect Search' extension to Opera 20.

hijacking searches to dangerous websites. It is my understanding that the reason Opera has limited the Opera default search engines to 5 is that there was a problem with malware adware, etc.
