Goggles allows users to counter this intrinsic bias in the ranking algorithm. While Brave Search doesn’t have editorial biases, all search engines have some level of intrinsic bias. This means that, instead of a single ranking, Brave Search can offer an almost limitless number of ranking options, enabling search use-cases that could be too specific for an all-purpose search engine.

Essentially, Goggles will act as a re-ranking option on top of the Brave Search index. Anyone could then choose to apply a Goggle-or extend it-to their view of Brave Search results. Goggles enable anyone, or any community of people, to create sets of rules and filters to constrain the searchable space and / or alter the ordering of results. Goggles is a beta feature of Brave Search.

Brave Search-like Brave itself-is intended to be a user-first portal to the web, free of Big Tech’s manipulation. Nor will we change our search algorithm to increase or decrease the prominence of results in response to current events or anyone’s political, religious, ethical, or other beliefs. No, Brave Search does not filter, downrank, or censor search results. Does Brave Search filter, downrank, or censor search results?.Independence means choice: for users-and for Brave-to be safer online, and not be beholden to the privacy invasions, censorship, biases, or economic interests of Big Tech. Brave Search, meanwhile, would stay fully operational. If Big Tech suddenly ceased to function, those other search operators would go offline. They’re just façades that rely exclusively on third-parties for their results. Most search engines-even supposedly “neutral” or “private” ones-don’t do this.

An index is the list of billions of web pages, and some basic info about those pages, that search engines draw from to deliver search results.

Second, Brave Search operates from a fully independent search index. This is far different from the vast majority of search providers, who siphon up every piece of data about your search behavior, and tie it directly to you. We don’t track you, your searches, or your clicks. First, and most important, Brave Search adheres to core principles of privacy.
