Kagi Chrome extension in Opera doesn't set Kagi as search engine

CarlosRamirez · Nov 22, 2022

Steps to reproduce:

Install Kagi extension from the Chrome web store
Open the extension
Try searching in the address bar. You get google still
Go to Settings -> Search Engines. Kagi is not listed in the search engines.

Expected behavior:
The extension claims it would automatically configure Kagi as the default search engine, so I was expecting that.

Debug info:
Opera 92.0.4561.43 / Windows 10 / Puerto Rico / US-East

Yes, I did that, but Opera doesn't let me set Kagi as the default. I have to type "k" before the query to use Kagi, which is a bit annoying.

CarlosRamirez It sounds like a problem with Opera, not our extension?

Yeah, maybe. Any plans to make an Opera extension?

CarlosRamirez Opera uses Chrome extensions. The limitation here is that you can not override a default search engine in Opera with an extension, as I understand it.
