Brave doesn’t have this feature (on any operating system) which Firefox already has. It’s the ability to choose to have a an extra searchbar. It makes searching easier with choosing a specific search engine or wanting to search the same subject in a different search engine or save it for later. The search bar will be at the right of the browser’s address bar: ![tempsnip](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/brave/original/3X/1/1/11f8eedcf006f80f8821ca50cc90d7d7284b3d0a.png) ---

> [@daze](#): > > It makes searching easier with choosing a specific search engine or wanting to search the same subject in a different search engine You’re able to search for ANY search engine you want and have saved. Typically it comes with what are called “Bangs.” Go to `brave://settings/searchEngines` and you’ll see them. Examples are below: ![Photos 3_16_2023 17_51_40](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/brave/original/3X/c/2/c28595c40776bb1842a069bfb9135caca11f2585.png) Those can be customized, so you can add your own custom shortcuts or you can add any website/search as you want. As per the screenshot, if I want to search `Apples` on Brave I’d just do `:br Apples` and it would search apples on Brave. Other people like to do it with `!` so they’d put something like `!g` to search on Google. * * * In any case, as Alice mentioned, you can always add it to #Brave Feature Requests if you’d like. Maybe will be something they’ll consider and modify, but I personally don’t see the purpose and would be considered by most as clutter. ---

I know that, however I was looking into something such as firefox where you press an icon in the second search bar, as pressing semi colon and desired search engine takes some time. ---
