Brave<\/a> (via Hacker News<\/a>):<\/p>\n

When Brave Search launched in June 2021, about 13% of the queries required the help of third parties to achieve the desired level of quality across various types of queries.<\/p>

[…]<\/p>

By default, Brave Search users will now receive 100% of results from the Brave Index, giving users fully independent results. As always, our results will preserve user privacy. And this independence does not come at the expense of quality: Over the past several months, the Search team has drastically improved Brave Search’s ability to answer nuanced, long-tail queries.<\/p>

For users who want it, Google Fallback mixing<\/a> will continue to be an option. Users can continue to support the growth of the index and results quality by opting into the Web Discovery Project<\/a>, and submitting feedback<\/a> in cases where we should improve. And users can use Goggles<\/a> to re-rank and filter results from the Brave Search index.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Their own index, based on Tailcat<\/a>, is working better than DuckDuckGo\/Bing for me now. Hopefully, Apple will add built-in support to Safari.<\/p>\n\n
