I was pointing out the search feature because 1. The default options are not all that helpful, so if you expand things as I mentioned you can get better results (just general use helpfulness) 2. it has been complained about by many others before you (including myself), so with that. 3. You’re not the only one who dislikes the change (so maybe Brave will revert or find a compromise) & 4. You could have also just agreed with what others had already said rather than creating a whole new topic, that’s not a big deal, I’m just saying. Including for example going here and adding your vote.
I’m not saying I have a fix (I’m just a user, not a Brave Employee) or that they currently have a fix either, but that Brave is aware of it and have received lots of complaints and have shared reasons for why they changed things…
