The Brave search engine now allows users to find images and videos in addition to other search results, without relying on other engines like Bing or Google to display those results.
Brave Search Engine was launched as a beta version in early 2021 and then as a final version in mid-2022, it primarily focuses on preserving user privacy and serves as the default search engine in the browser that bears the same name.
With this update, the Brave search engine now provides original search results for images and videos for the first time.
However, it still retains the option to resort to competing search engines to display results using the same search terms when the results within it are insufficient or unsatisfactory.
Some features are still missing from Brave Search, such as the ability to filter search results for images by aspect ratios or licenses.
Currently, Brave Search relies on its own internet index to display search results and does not use external indexes or competing search engines to enhance result control.
Users can access the Brave search engine through its web version from any browser, and it is free to use without the need for account registration. Additionally, it offers some unique features, such as summarizing search results using artificial intelligence.
The new search engine aims to replicate previous experiences, similar to DuckDuckGo, which prioritizes user privacy compared to traditional search engines that collect user data extensively and display advertisements.
