Brave Search replaces Google as default search engine in the Brave browser

Yes, instead of Google collecting information about me to improve my search experience, I want:

- A box where I can select the context of my search.

- The box then appends a specific string to the query.

For example, if I set the box to "clothes", the box will append "waist 34 inch, 5 feet tall" to the query.

If I set the box to "programming", the box will append "favorite_languages:Python,C++" to the query.

And of course a search engine should interpret it accordingly. No need to collect and store my personal information.

I just want a search engine that gives me AND, OR, and NOT qualifiers or something similar. Parens, too, if possible. Ideally, an sql interface, but that's probably pushing it :)

You could use Google BigQuery to write such queries for the whole internet (or parts you chose)

You can have that with my idea. Just leave the Combobox empty.
