You can also enable or disable the toggle switch to ‘Suggest websites and search terms‘ for personalization. You can even delete the saved search terms from the browser.

In addition, if you have any other search engine in mind, click on Plus plus add icon, and it will open a comprehensive list of all other search engines available in the browser.

Add Search Engines in Samsung Internet

You can choose any search engine or select multiple checkboxes to add to the search engine list and make it a default search engine on Samsung Internet.

Bottom Line

Samsung Internet offers you a wide selection of search engines to choose from. But still, it doesn’t offer any way to add a new or custom search engine.

After changing the default search engine, when you search anything in the address bar the results will appear from the selected search engine.
