I see the feature is in progress. I'm on the same boat, using Qwant on desktop but still with DuckDuckGo on Android. Shame Qwant was removed as a search engine from Vivaldi.
-
It's pretty ridiculous this isn't been implemented yet. At the very least keep up with new search engines. Brave Search should be an option.
-
I also suggest www.qwant.com, but also www.mojeek.de/www.mojeek.com to get atleast searchengine that has its own searching technologie.

@mamaforrestcritter Opera can have custom search engines pal.

But what are you all on about?
Opera on Mobile can have more search engines.Presumably: Opera Mobile removed the ability to add search-engines, then reserved course and put the ability back.
Opera Desktop did that with a bunch of features: Opera 15 didn't even have bookmarks, let alone the features and customizability that made Opera Opera! Lots of people were unhappy, even Opera's founder left the company and made Vivaldi.
Opera somewhat backtracked. Somewhat! The new Opera doesn't have the features and customizability of the Opera 12, or even Vivaldi. But it's a lot better than Opera 15 and Chrome.

And also took (luckily) some others devs of O12 desktop team with him

@eggcorn Jon did leave Opera over changes in philosophy brought by investors who had gained control of the company. But he left in 2011, and Opera released Opera15 in 2013. My understanding of the main reasons Jon left were that the investors insisted on "increasing profits" by doing less with fewer staff (Jon actually wanted to hire MORE staff to keep the Presto engine competitive, and the Board wanted to cut costs).
@Hadden89 A lot of former Opera developers did join the Vivaldi team - but mostly after Opera let them go. From 2013 to 2016, Opera engaged in a wholesale reduction of staff, some of whom found a home at Vivaldi. Jon did not really "take staff with him." He just formed an alternative community to replace the one (MyOpera) that Opera jettisoned. It was not until Opera slashed features and expressed no will to add them back, after the release of Opera15, that Jon sought to develop Vivaldi.
It's perhaps not that big a deal, but we should try to be clear on the history.

@techboydexe
I had opera when they removed that utility. Maybe they back tracked and reinstated it as others here have mentioned....pal...no backtracking for me, done with opera. -
Any progress?
-
How can I remove and edit the search engines on Android?
-
@abolog You can't. That's the reason for this feature request. It is supposedly "in progress" meaning we will get it sometime within this year, decade or... century.
-
I would like to see this feature, hoping to see some progress
-
The desktop browser can already do this, but is it possible to use POST searches instead of GET searches in Android? Doesn't have to be the default, but I'd appreciate it if the option was there. Currently, unless a user has a VPN, all search information will be available to any ISP or person monitoring a network. Of course there are alternate solutions like a VPN or only doing searches through a search engines website (Startpage does POST by default and duckduckgo can do it after a setting change), but it'd still be nice to see it as an official feature.
