Since the last update of Brave for Android (Version 1.68.134), the search widget on my phone’s home screen is not working properly.
When I first tap the widget I see the search screen, but when I start typing it doesn’t auto complete any results (it also doesn’t show recent top sites).
When I click my phone’s home button and then tap the widget again, it works as it should and shows suggestions and auto complete.

@udi9 ,
Can you try removing and re-adding the widget? I just tested on my end and the widget seems to be working as expected.

Thanks @Mattches
I tried removing and re-adding the widget but it didn’t help, unfortunately.
Also tried clearing the app’s cache and restarting my phone, but still the same results.

I have the same issue and in addition when I try to search anything, it doesn’t loads or loads so slow.

### Description
Users have noticed that tapping inside the search widget on the… ir Android device does not initially display any search suggestions or top sites when you start typing. Once you tap away from the widget (or hit the home button, etc) and then come back to it, it will start displaying suggestions normally.
First time tapping into the widget:
