Some queries are redirected through Google instead of using direct links.
Like other search engines, Brave Search has a web crawler to discover new webpages and index their content. The index we create is independent of other search engines. Brave Search results are served solely from this index.
So far, it seems to me that they’re just stealing results from other search engines.
