using my default browser (brave) and pressing "enter" (doing a search) did not do anything. The page just sits there.

apparently, I need to make a selection of a search engine to use this.

I would not use this as a replacement for my duckduckgo or google searches simply because of the UX of not being able to type a query and press "enter" as the default.

That's fair.

You can probably hack that experience by making use of the "rules" feature. You can have certain search engines or macros launch automatically upon pressing enter based on the content of the query. You if you set a rule to check if your search contains a vowel (which most will), it's effectively a catch all rule.

Hacky, but it will work.
