@presearchuser you’re doing it wrong. You don’t put in the website only. You have to do a search on it and then replace your search term with %s
So it would be: (I’m creating more steps than it really is, probably should combine some of these, but it is what it is)
Step 1. Go to https://presearch.com/
Step 2 Search an item. Let’s pretend it’s Aliens.
Step 3 Look at Search/URL bar. It will now say https://presearch.com/search?q=Aliens
Step 4 Replace Aliens with %s to end up with
https://presearch.com/search?q=%s and then copy/cut it
Step 5 Go to brave://settings/searchEngines
Step 6 Add under Site search
Step 7 Fill out the form to look like this, where you put in https://presearch.com/search?q=%s under URL part :
Now it’s programmed in. Just typing :p followed by a space will switch to Presearch. If you want to make Presearch your default, then…
So hamburger menu while in there, hit Make Default, and there you go, it will always search Presearch by default.
