4. Right click on the address bar and select "paste and search".

Version/Channel Information:

• Can you reproduce this issue with the current release? Yes

Other Additional Information:

Miscellaneous Information:

I use google as my default search engine, in case it has something to do with it.
---edit
It seems there is a connection between the described behavior and the default search engine. Changing my default search engine to yahoo, bing or even startpage made the forementioned search through the one that was set as default.

After yesterday's update to 1.31.x, the search with ddg switch at the bottom of the new incognito page no longer exists for me, so I assume this issue is now irrelevant. Feel freek to close it.

Or tell me how can I bring it back. Setting ddg as my default search engine does not restore it. Isn't this what is supposed to happen according to #18486 ?

Am I the only one that has the forementioned issue with the missing switch? I just checked with 1.31.88 and it is still missing.
If it is not fixed in the following releases, I will close this bug report because it simply no longer applies to the new versions of brave.

1.32 was released earlier so I am closing this because it no longer applies (since 1.31).
If anyone knows a way to get the "search with ddg" toggle back, please post.
