Opera has announced it has made Google the default search engine in Opera's mobile Web browsers. Anyone using Opera Mobile or Opera Mini can access Google's mobile search directly from the browser start page.
Google has been the default search option on Opera's desktop browser for seven years, and the new mobile collaboration covers all global territories except Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, and includes all of Opera's standard mobile Web browsers.
"Google and Opera have established a valuable relationship over the years and we look forward to continued collaboration on mobile products," said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera. "With 2008 poised to be the year the mobile Web goes mainstream, Google and Opera are extending this collaboration to give our users immediate access to the quality and convenience of Google's search results. We're excited to extend this productive relationship and we hope that the nearly 100 million people using our mobile products will agree."
