What if I want googlebot to crawl it but not bravebot? Every other search engine lets me block its crawler specifically. Only Brave has this shady policy.
Hmm, I agree it's odd, but 'shady' seems to attribute malice to what could just be stupidity?
I'm very glad for this! I've been using Brave search almost since it launched, and the standard results have gotten great, but it's always been a bummer to have to go out to Bing/Google for images/video. It's really nice having an alternative that isn't just wrapper around someone else's search index.
No mention of reverse image search sadly. I've been looking for anything better than Google/yandex forever.

Hi, I'm David and I've worked along other engineers at Brave on this! Thanks for your feedback, it would certainly be a nice addition, although we may want to focus a bit more on quality first. Thanks!
Now... I would just like to see the full https url on searches.
I already love the look, Brave summarizer AI and general results!

i have been using brave search for a while now and i was surprised and am very satisfied with the search results. missing image and video search was a bit annoying mostly in that it linked to google and bing but not any other search engines. but i just remembered to switch to where i wanted to do image search instead. it sometimes meant that i had to go back to retype my search query, but i'd rather have a good text…
Brave search was my default for quite a while, until a few weeks after they got rid of bing results. As soon as that happened, stuff just wasn't showing up that I'd expect to be there, and 90% of the time I'd follow up searches with !g or !ddg just to get something decent to show up. The index just felt severely lacking, or the relevancy was pretty far off base.
Would you say search has greatly improved over the past month or two?
My priority for search is that it’s free of political censorship and weighting. Google is abysmal on this issue, then we had the DDG CEO on here making excuses for his very clear statements about Russian news sources. I don’t need or want anyone else to decide for me what qualifies as “misinformation” I will decide that for myself. It surprisingly comes up for image searching. Google for example has been known to cen…
