I did that when I tried to, however it made a site search instead of a search engine and I didn’t realize until now that there’s an additional step you need to take to make it a search engine instead of a site search. I needed to click on the three dots on the right of the newly added site search and click Make default to convert it to a search engine.
Thanks anyways.
