We currently do not have support for Opera in the import scenarios. 

However, you can still import the bookmarks from Opera by going to the favorites view in Opera and selecting the option to Export the bookmarks as an HTML file.

Then in the new Edge, you can simple import this file by using

Settings > Profiles > Import browser data > In "Import From" field > Select "Favorites/Bookmarks HTML File"

 

About the search engine, the new Edge automatically detects the search engine and adds them to the list. Just goto Google.com once and search something there. Then if you goto settings, google should be available in the search settings. Hope that helps.
