I don’t see anybody mentioning Brave Search. I’m getting 500. Anybody else?
Would you be able to share a query if the 500 happens consistently? We’ll look into it.
Thanks for your help, I hope that helps,
Looks like it's affecting anything Bing-related, at least over here in Australia. Same symptoms for Bing and Ecosia.
I also sometimes get 500 on Brave Search, but not always? Kagi works fine. Yeah, something is wrong with bing. That’s what you get when you rely on others instead of building your own. A jenga tower. https://xkcd.com/2347/
Brave Search is fully independent and does not rely on Bing whatsoever so any 500 is unrelated to this incident.

Hey, Brave engineer here. Brave Search is up and running (thanks to our fully independent index and no reliance on Bing whatsoever). Any 500 error is unrelated to the Bing incident. Would you be able to share a query if the 500 happens consistently? We’ll look into it. Thanks for your help, I hope that helps,
Test one - works
Test one two three - got 500
Feels strange.
Edit:
Hello - works
Hello world - 500 again
It’s like, if you type in more than 1-2 words it gives you 500.
Edit:
Test one two - just gave me 500 this time. It’s not very consistent. Maybe it’s something on my end. I wonder if anybody can reproduce it. I made a screen recording to proof I’m not too crazy, if necessary.

One of the interesting things about this downtime is that it has highlighted how many 'alternative' search engines are really just a front-end for Bing.
Except that in this case instead of a “random person in Nebraska” we have a multi billion dollar corporation.
Non-Google recommendations in the interim?
using that as my default search engine on firefox since last year. quite happy with the quality of results.
