I want that too!
For most Chinese Vivaldi users it's would be great if we can choose Baidu as search engine !

@jcprevel Add new search engine should be added to Vivaldi as soon as possible. And we should also be able to quickly change the search engine via the Vivaldi search bar.

I've been waiting for customizable search engines since the Android version launched. Very useful not just for regular search engines, but also for stores as well so you don't have to first go to the store's website then search. For example just have a letter assigned to Walmart and just search Walmart products from the URL.

It is a feature that Opera 12 had, at least after a fashion. When I installed Opera Mobile and enabled Sync, it synced the search engines I had on my desktop to my tablet. So it should be something they have want in V.

mvozzo

@shmykelsa Yes, please! It would be great to sync Search Engines across desktop and mobile browsers.

StephZarx

Sync & customizable search engines for desktop and mobile would be wonderful.
Thank you.

@mvozzo @StephZarx if you want to give your support to feature requests, you have to upvote the OP. It's just not possible to sift through all the threads and count up the number of folks who express support for one feature or another, so the way to have your support counted is to upvote the OP.

Is this being looked at, and if so any idea on the timeline?

Komposten

@ryonez It's tagged as In Progress, so it's certainly being looked at. However, there are never any ETAs.

What are ETAs?

BoneTone

@stardepp Estimated Time to Arrival - Vivaldi doesn't provide estimates for when things will be released.

Better to synchronize search engines with Desktop

carlinmack

only feature preventing me from switching to using Vivaldi on Android

Phosphoros

Need to add Qwant to default search engines for mobile app

Hadden89

@Phosphoros As default probably won't happen as there isn't more a parternship with vivaldi.
But yeah, I'd like to add it

+1 to this request, huge feature gap by not having it.

Dancer18

It is POSSIBLE to add ANY other search engine to vivaldi search.
Maybe I missed another description about the feature in this thread, but anyway:

Whereever you open a site with a searchbar: Qwant, amazon, or any other, rightclick in the searchbar and select "Create search".
A small window pops up for some editings and you just save it.

I did this even for searching of books by title or by ISBN-number with this portal and of movies with this.

drannex42

@Dancer18 yes, for desktop this works really well. But we are talking about the mobile version!

Dancer18

Oh, I missed that really! Sorry!
And yes - I'm interested in this feature too!!!
