It depends on what you actually want. You could disable the "Search
box", but I don't know how to change it. As an example, you could add
e.g. StartPage with a keyword to the address bar search, you could as
well add the xquick (startpage) toolbar by an extension. But as
defaults you perhaps only could select between the given defaults,
Google, DuckDuckGo etc., but e.g. not StartPage. However, I only spend
1 minute with this, I'm not an expert, even not an user of nowadays
Opera.
