A community for Vivaldi - the private, customizable and powerful browser.
From the help pages:
"Change the default Search Engine You can set any of the search engines listed in Settings > Search Engines as the default Search Engine.
Option 1
Go to Settings > Search > Default Search Engine; Select your preferred Search Engine from the dropdown menu.
Option 2
Go to Settings > Search > Search Engines; Select the Search Engine you want to set as default; Tick the box for Set as Default Search."
Qwant is an option.
I did both of those. It works for the ones that come available, but simply won't work with Qwant. I am able to click the options, it just does not switch.
I just fiddled around with it and got it to work this way:
Open qwant in a new tab. Right-click in the empty search text field and click "add as search engine." Then go to settings > search > default search engine etc. and make it a default. I don't know if the qwant extension does anything tbh.
I came across a note that qwant isn't available everywhere as a pre-set-up search engine. Who knows why that is so...
Success! Thank you so much!
