if I go to and use its 'search this site' feature (assuming it has one), Chrome will usually figure out that this is a search, and add to my list of search 'engines'. especially when you consider that the early adopters of Brave are overwhelmingly going to be nerdy power users who like tinkering with and customising these kind of settings.Īlso note Chrome actually adds these custom search keywords by default every time you search a new site. The proliferation of suggestions in this thread shows that it's simply not practical to have a single list of search engines that ships with Brave by default and isn't customisable. Zillions of websites have a 'search this site' feature even though the site itself isn't Google or Yahoo. I'm not familiar with OpenSearch but bear in mind that it's not just search engines that people will want to attach to a keyword. As it is, you can only use the Brave address bar to search the English version of the listed search engines, which clearly isn't what a lot of people will want. Like others I also use these keywords for searching sites in different languages, e.g I have wiki for the English Wikipedia, but wifr for the French version, wies for the Spanish etc.

enes brave searches WR's English-Spanish for 'brave', and espt valiente searches the Spanish-Portuguese dictionary for 'valiente', etc. Here's one example: I speak multiple languages and I frequently need to look up the English translation of a foreign word (or visa versa), so I have keywords set up in Chrome to search a bilingual dictionary (usually ). I have dozens of these 'search shortcuts' in Chrome that I've built up slowly over the last decade they're etched into my muscle memory and it's a PITA to not have them. This is by far the feature I miss the most from Chrome.
