How to i make google my default search engine v2

tittle says it all i am not able to switch browsers

Hello - Do you have any search engines available here: brave://settings/searchEngines

You may need to re-add them if they were deleted.

hey thanks for checking out my forum this is what i see, how do you think i can add google to search engines

@Coolguy124 sorry for the delay in a response. Just so you know, Site Search and Search Engines are the same thing. The difference between the two is if they were automatically part of the browser when you installed it. Any of the entries in the Search Engines part come with referral codes attached so Brave is able to make money each time you do a search with that search engine.

Site Search is the ones we add ourselves, which don’t have the referral codes associated each time we search.

Anyway, if you hit the three dots (hamburger menu) you will still be able to Make Default at which point it will be moved up to Search Engines until you switch the default. And everything will work as you otherwise would expect regardless.

I am not sure what might have happened that your search engines were deleted in the first place. It’s kind of weird.

I don’t know why my search engines were deleted, I used to have them but one day they just disappeared. Anyways thank you so much for the help.
