The "site" operator isn't working

The "site" operator in search queries isn't working for me anymore.

The webpage at https://search.brave.com/search?q=uhren+site%3Ade might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

@onchov Can you try your query again? I'm getting results for your query.

Same as before, tried on 3 or 4 machines. I switched the search setting from "All regions" to "Germany" to check if there's a conflict, but that doesn't seem to help, either. I tried with my VPN both on and off, also no changes.

Edit: Will just add that the search seems to work fine on FF.
Edit2: Switching off extensions one by one didn't make a difference.

The issue persists as of:

Brave | 1.35.103 Chromium: 98.0.4758.102 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Revision | 273bf7ac8c909cde36982d27f66f3c70846a3718-refs/branch-heads/4758@{#1151}

The issue seems gone.

As of 1.62.156 Chromium: 121.0.6167.139 (Official Build) (64-bit) the search works fine and respects the "site" operator.

Closing, thank you.
