I do believe that's intentional on the part of Opera. Yahoo is one of their preferred search partners, and basically Yahoo pays $$$ to Opera for the privilege. Mobile Opera can't select Google either, it only has Yahoo, Baidu, Bing, Amazon or Ebay selectable as the default search.

BTW Opera is now Chinese...

It's a fact. Our online lives are becoming less private. If you're worried that Facebook and Windows 10 are collecting unprecedented amounts of your data, then you're probably not going to like this.
Would you want to surf the web knowing that the Chinese government was watching your every move?

Sufficed to say I do NOT use Opera. This may also be why Google is not an option for it and Baidu is.
