Brave Search is being launched first in Beta so that users can test the new search engine while Brave continues to refine its features. Brave Search’s release hopes to offer a competitive search engine using its own independent search index and privacy-focused features. As a site owner, there is still a need for improvement as, in my opinion, the search results tend to skew towards larger sites covering a story rather than the publisher who broke the story. The search results tended to rank poorly in Brave’s search rankings if other larger publishers also covered it – even if those publishers linked back to us.
