Brave doesn't have its own index of the full web, and it's even less useful than Yandex. And very likely buys some of it, according to what I've heard. So it falls into the last category.

if that is true then they are lying on their site where they claim: "Brave Search operates from a fully independent search index"
do you have any reference for your claim?
i use brave search and find it very useful. very rarely there is something i can't find, and when i run into that other search engines are not much better.
Notice that it doesn't say "Brave Search solely operates from..." or "only operates from"?
Instead the wording leaves wiggle room for the possibility of using multiple.
it would still be lying by omission at least
Given the piles of spammy shit on Google these days, I'm wondering if "doesn't have its own index of the full web" is actually a competitive advantage.
