Because I am privacy conscious, every time I close any browser I’m using I clear all history, cache, cookies, etc., and I close every time I am finished with a browsing session. Obviously this clears my Brave Search settings. With other search engines I am able to save the settings in a URL that I use instead of search.brave.com.
Is this possible? If not, is it planned? It is a big deal for me because I do a lot of searching.
I would like this feature as well. Because for some reason, I’m not able to keep the search settings in a cookie. Or perhaps add a cloud storage option like Duckduckgo has.
I made a post about this under the feedback section with the appropriate tags in the hopes that it will get more attention. I’m surprised there aren’t many people who’ve complained about this.
I found that the country URL parameter (accepts country codes or all) works reliably for most searches except location-specific queries from matching IP addresses. For example, searching “paris weather” with country=us from a French IP will still show French results. Those queries are rare though so it’s not that big of an inconvenience.
I also tested other parameters like ai, summary, safe_search, safe, theme, but they don’t work unfortunately. Let me know if you find other working parameters
I discovered a couple more params: safesearch can be off, moderate, or strict lang takes the language and country, separated by a dash (en-us, fr-fr)
I still can’t figure out how to disable the ai snippets and I’m starting to think it’s not possible.
