I know, as I said in my comment. DDG is okay I guess, but why is it not possible to use a truly custom engine? I personally want to use an instance of Searx.

Surely it is possible to configure a custom search engine in Brave. I would be amazed if the list was hard coded.
Apparently it's only possible if the search engine supports "open-search": https://community.brave.com/t/is-it-possible-to-add-a-new-se...

None of the search engines that I want to use seem to support open-search, however.

In Firefox this is not an issue and adding a custom search engine there is trivial.
