I'm looking for the same answer.

My added search engine appears and works fine, but i don't see any way to add his favicon.

There are many "search.ini" files in Opera folders, so I have try to add a line ( favicons URL) in every of those "search.ini" files which contains my added search engine...
with no success sad


Opera 11.52 - Build 1100
Windows XP (32 bit)

I've found that deleting the icons causes Opera to refetch all them all which fixes the problem of icons not showing for search engines.

and i ve found that on my Opera 11.64 (installed on Windows 7 64 bit), no matter what these icons will always remain:

http%3A%2F%2Fredir.opera.com%2Ffavicons%2Famazon%2Ffavicon.png
http%3A%2F%2Fredir.opera.com%2Ffavicons%2Fbing%2Ffavicon.png
http%3A%2F%2Fredir.opera.com%2Ffavicons%2Fgoogle%2Ffavicon.png
http%3A%2F%2Fredir.opera.com%2Ffavicons%2Fwikipedia%2Ffavicon.png
http%3A%2F%2Fredir.opera.com%2Ffavicons%2Fyahoo%2Ffavicon.png



even if i add say Youtube or Google Images as alternative search engines... BTW as soon as you add a new search engine an icon is created for it, but the moment you delete private data, whoosh! it is gone

hope this helps... hope Opera does something about it... moderators - assistance required

I can see why they would have a default for Google - Google is known to change its favicon to celebrate special events, and you really wouldn't want to get stuck with some of those. Haven't paid that much attention to the others ...
