Description of the issue:
After signing up for Search Premium I got an email to confirm my email address and access Premium search. But how do I know when Premium search is being used. When I search for things I can still see ads. I don’t see any indication Premium is active and being used. I can find a link under Settings to Sign-up for premium and that redirects me to the main Brave search page. Does using Premium require a magic URL or something like that?

Brave Version (check About Brave):
n/a

Operating System:
Windows 10

Hello! If you see the Blue Shield in the top-right corner at search.brave.com, Search Premium is active.

If you don’t see it, please visit account.brave.com and click Open under your Search subscription and it will activate. Let me know if you run into trouble. Thanks!

I still don’t get the blue shield. And now my repeated attempts have triggered an account lockout.
