Brave Version( check About Brave):

Are you sure you didn’t just switch the default search engine in the address bar? Have a look at brave://settings/searchEngines and see if Google is marked as the default one. Switching the default (Google) to another search engine did change the context menu “Search … for” option for me. (using Brave dev 1.4.47)

You are right. Something changed my default search engine. Or maybe this happened when i had to delete my profile AGAIN because Brave could not be launched anymore.
Problem solved. Thanks!

Ah, and maybe Brave should set DDG as the default search engine on installation. And not Google,
