Hi,

Editing the WebData file, Keywords branch, the Searches can be Backed up and Imported to another Profiles.
Using SQLiteStudio for example.

Seems V started to use the default Chrome Search settings.
You have to reset the ones in the target profile and Sync to populate them before import the branch to avoid Sync conflicts and Duos.

You would need to reallocate a few too once done since some are already in the Browser as Defaults.

Maybe this would be easier.

They can even be edited at once and use the same info in case of the use of Separators, this can't be done in the V itself.

The Backup Search Engines modification no longer works with Vivaldi 7.1..

@stardepp I'm running the mod. Backing up the engines still works, but I haven’t tried importing them in a while and that seems to have broken recently. It bugs out while trying to remove the old engines, likely Vivaldi has changed something internally.

@stardepp Fixed, they changed the id key to guid for whatever reason. I expect that old backups can't be imported anymore, do make new ones.

@luetage Good to know.

@luetage Vielen Dank für dieses Update. Ich schätze deine Arbeit sehr.

I was just able to restore my secured search engines.
