> Brave uses its own search index Did not know that. I immediately grabbed some recent "poor result" Google searches from history and tried them at search.brave.com — so far ALL results are better. Reminds me a bit of Google from ten years ago. Google's decline into its present inability to NOT show only "assumed popular content" created a huge time sink in my life that wasn't there before. Not a fan of the over- and inaccurate use of "disruption" but it was a legitimate description for what Google did to other search engines, and this feels like a similar level of improvement. I'm frankly amazed at how good the search results are in my initial test.

> I immediately grabbed some recent "poor result" Google searches from history Did you revisit every query from your recent Google searches (or) Is it that you have a good memory that you were able to remember poor results from looking at the query? I'm asking this because, I've been contemplating a 'Search Engine Wall of Shame'[1] where people can submit their poor search results for the engines to make actionable changes towards improving them.

  Worthy project, thank you. I re-opened several Google SERPs from my history and compared to Brave. I often find NO results relevant to my query on the first three pages of search Google results, often seemingly because there is a "more common/popular" aspect of the topic I am searching about, and everything is about the common and related aspects and none about my use case.

    Thank you. Would you be willing to submit your bad search results to such forum? I welcome you to post your bad search results with the queries to that needgap thread for the time being unless there's a dedicated forum for that.

      I am willing, but the odds actually doing so are low (busy and disorganized).

        That's fine, Next time you come across a bad search result, I hope you remember this conversation.
