About Brave Search

Brave Search is a web search engine that uses its own independent index rather than passing queries on to another engine. It says it does not track or profile users, and it can add optional AI-generated answers above the regular results.

Goggles let you apply custom ranking rules that change which sites appear and in what order. It works in any browser and suits people who want an alternative to the big search engines that is not just a front end to one of them.

Strengths

  • Own independent index instead of proxying another engine
  • No profiling of users
  • Goggles for custom result ranking
  • Optional AI answers

Limitations

  • An independent index can have gaps compared with the largest engines
  • AI answers can be inaccurate and should be checked
