Brave, the maker of the homonymous web browser, has announced a new feature called Discussions that adds conversations from online forums to its privacy-focused search engine.

Until now, Brave Search was limited to website content that can be vague, generic, low quality, and only appear high in results due to SEO optimization.

Brave Search will evaluate search terms and correlate them with online user discussions to give people access to richer or more accurate results for their query.

The Discussions feature is only available on Brave Search, Brave's own privacy-centric search engine, and not Google Search used on the Brave browser, for example.

Brave Search first became available to users of the browser on version 1.31 on Windows and Android, and version 1.32 on iOS, released on October 2021.

The main difference between Brave Search and other established search engines is that it promises not to track or profile users and to take targeted advertising to the back seat.
