Moreover, it does not rely on the above-mentioned search engines or algorithms for its results except for images- more on it later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is open-source and anyone can look into its code for malicious practices. This makes it a transparent and ideal choice for people who care about their privacy. You can access it on <a href=\"http:\/\/search.brave.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">search.brave.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, it was in Private Beta but became available for everyone in early 2021. It also comes as a default search engine in Brave browsers in certain regions. The choice to make it default was necessary to increase its adoption, and it has already led to nearly 300 million queries per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s explore more about the specific features which you can find in Brave Search that make it stand out among other search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-e54b22ac\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-e54b22ac\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Brave_Search_Work\"><\/span>How Does Brave Search Work? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brave-search-3-1024x577.png\" alt=\"How Does Brave Search Engine Work\" class=\"wp-image-6522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brave-search-3-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brave-search-3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brave-search-3-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brave-search-3-1536x865.png 1536w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/brave-search-3.png 1562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Brave Search does not track its users, their search history, or what website they have been visiting. It is entirely independent of other search engines, although it does give you an <strong>option to search from Google or Bing<\/strong> if you do not find relevant search results.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Search Engine uses the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/brave.com\/privacy\/browser\/#web-discovery-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Web Discovery Project<\/a><\/strong> that uses anonymous user data (that users can opt-out of) to create its unique <strong>Independent index<\/strong> to show search results. Other privacy-based search engines rely on other search engines like Google or Bing, but that&#8217;s not the case with Brave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that while Brave is independent of Google and Bing in web search, it does rely on Bing for image search results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-026d107d\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-026d107d\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brave_Search_Premium\"><\/span>Brave Search Premium <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Brave-search-premium-222-1-1024x577.png\" alt=\"Brave Search Premium\" class=\"wp-image-6525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Brave-search-premium-222-1-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Brave-search-premium-222-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Brave-search-premium-222-1-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Brave-search-premium-222-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Brave search will show ads similar to Google search, but you can disable by buying their Premium subscription.

Brave knows this, which is why they&#8217;ve added Google Fallback Mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It allows Brave to search your query separately on Google and mix some of their search results with Brave search. This helps improve the suggestions and results on Brave search and also helps you discover what you were looking for easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-57ca8718\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-heading-57ca8718\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anonymous_Local_Results\"><\/span>Anonymous Local Results<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mask-location-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mask-location-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mask-location-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mask-location-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mask-location.jpg 1427w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Local search results are essential, especially when you need to find restaurants or stores nearby.
