Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?
Create site search in brave://settings/searchEngines
Save it, test it on non private windows it is working
Test it on Private windows it is not working!
Expected result: It should also work on private window
Brave Version( check About Brave): Brave 1.84.141
Additional Information:
Try typing :yt instead (then hit space after the t).
that’s different with features in non private window 
But I have checked today, its now working.
The method I used above works in both Private and standard browsing windows.
Just checked here, and it’s working as you had described (and as @Mattches described, both with and without a colon).
Though I see it’s now working for you as well per 3 days ago.
(I personally added a “gw” in my search to bypass Google’s “AI” results and perform specifically a “Web” search, which allows more verbatim text, the “old school” Google search if you will…to an extent Google allows.)
For me it wasn’t working for the whole December.
How to reproduce:
I did a reinstall of windows in November, installed Brave and synced the settings including the site searches. In normal (non private) windows the site search always worked for me, but not in private windows.
Investigations:
When I found this topic I started testing a little bit myself and found some interesting issues. Editing or adding site searches always works directly in the normal window, but
tl:dr
I guess there are problems after a sync with site searches and generally for private windows depending on the workflow.
