Documented resource details

Identify filters before comparing results

Brave Search help describes format, region and date filters and Goggles ranking models. Record active settings with your results. Different ranking or narrower filters change visible pages without changing their content.

Ranking
Goggles provide alternative ranking rules.
Filters
Help describes content-type, region and publication-recency filters.
Goggles re-ranking
A Goggle applies rules and filters over the Brave index ranking. Record which Goggle was applied: filtered results are not the engine’s general ranking.
