no other option ,
Description of the issue:
Brave Version (check About Brave):
Operating System:
Go to brave://settings/searchEngine
Click the “Add” button next to Site Search.
Enter a shortcut keyword like gg
Add https://www.google.com/search?q=%s in the URL section.
Let me know if that works for you. Thanks!
It looks like a resurgence of this issue here:
Have seen a few other reports of this recently – will have the team take a look.
as ur link it just take me to setting home page and there was no add button,so i figured out add link by searching “search“ and it took me there,then i added then worked:
@homepaity can you confirm whether or not the additional search engines were there in the browser before you updated?
Definitely would be helpful to know if those engines were there before updating
Basically, there are some baked in search engines and those get compiled/cached in the person’s profile. When those default engines receive an update, the cached version gets updated too. If those default ones are modified, sometimes this can cause an issue.
The default engine (whatever it is) will always show in the list. But the others should obviously be showing too. I think if you try to add another engine manually (ex: as @Evan123 suggested) it might help rebuild that cache. It’s worth a shot.
If you have multiple profiles, you should be able to verify the other profile has the items shown. I’m not sure what exactly caused this problem. The profile stores this inside the Preferences file in your profile directory (ex: %LOCALAPPDATA%\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\Preferences on Windows).
