Hello, I have had the same settings on Brave for months, but since today, Brave Search has been showing me suggestions when I type something in the search bar, and I honestly don’t like it, but I can’t seem to fix it. I use Brave Search without an account and I live in Italy.
“I have had the same settings on Brave for months”
Testing:
- Clear cache, cookies, history (for
All time, usingBasictab atbrave://settings/clearBrowserData) - Exit / Quit everything
- Restart the machine
In a Brave Browser New Window, go to: brave://settings/search and make sure any “Show search suggestions” / “Improve search suggestions” -type of toggle switch is Disabled ( - IF you see that switch?! ).
And possibly, If suggestions still appear, then, in a Brave Browser New Window, go to: brave://flags and search for: “on-device head suggestions” ← you might Disable that, and test.
(I am currently using an iPhone and cannot verify the existence of the switches and settings.)
Unfortunately I do not believe there is a way to hide these specific auto-suggestions on the search.brave.com website. Double checking on this now.
I use Brave (version 1.85.120) as my default browser and it has always worked well. I have never had any problems, except that now I am noticing suggestions on Brave Search that I did not have before, even though nothing has changed in my browser since then.
I automatically delete all data when I close the browser (I’ve been doing this for a few days). I’ve tried everything you wrote to me, but it’s already set up as you wrote. The only thing missing is brave://flags, and I hope it works.
Right, the website may have added the suggestions and that’s why, it’s not browser related.
It’s the website itself, if you are referring to search.brave.com specifically that is, and not the browsers built in search bar (which can be controlled).
OK, and to resolve this, should I send feedback or is what we have written here sufficient?
@Mattches said they were double-checking. Give it a moment and I’m sure if it has no feature, a suggestion can then be made.
@48696464656E you are in the right place to leave feedback. However, in order to have anyone take a look at this, we need to know exactly what the issue is. So as @MasterLink asked – are you referring to the search suggestions that appear on search.brave.com or are you referring to search suggestions that appear when searching using the address bar?
Yes, I am referring to the search suggestions that appear on search.brave.com.
Any news? I haven’t seen any updates via email.
