Browsers can sense fear

I've been trying to track down the larger context of some poem excerpts I saw (in translation), and had not been meeting with much success with my various search engines. I mostly use Edge browser, and at some point I thought I'd set my default search engine to DuckDuckGo there, but I was getting weird asides/chatbot regurgitated answers from the Microsoft search engine, so I tried to make sure it was set, and it was not. For anyone needing advice on how to switch their search engine in Edge, here it is:
-Settings
-type "search" in the search bar (very meta)
-Address Bar and Search
-Search Engine Used In The Address Bar
...So I went to type this up the other night, and of course, Edge just hid the "rich text" post box from me on Dreamwidth because it's afraid I'll spill its secrets to everyone. But it works in Chrome! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
