Focusing on the voice of a living human being because Google search is dead so that posts on the net bulletin board are displayed at the top of the search results of Brave search engine

Brave , a web browser equipped with an ad blocking function as standard, is developing its own search engine, Brave Search . On April 20, 2022, it was announced that the beta version of Brave Search has added a function ' Discussions ' that displays 'live human voices posted on the Internet bulletin board' at the top.

Brave acquired the search engine 'Tailcat' in March 2021 and started developing Brave Search as a search engine that does not depend on Google. And in June 2021, the beta version of Brave Search was released. In October 2021, Brave Search was set as Brave's default search engine in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, indicating its intention to break away from Google Search.

Brave has been concerned about Google's personal information gathering and tracking advertising since the early days of Brave Search's development. Concerns about Google search have also been pointed out by tech people other than Brave, and in February 2022, a blog post entitled 'Google Search Is Dying' was a hot topic .

As pointed out in the blog post above, Brave said, 'Google search only shows websites that have undergone search engine optimization (SEO), so many users use' reddit 'in their search terms. 'Discussions' is a function that displays posts on the online bulletin board at the top of the search results in order to emphasize 'answers by real humans that users want' by revisiting the problem of 'searching by adding the word (net bulletin board)'. It states that it has developed.

'Discussions' was also available in Japan, so I actually tried using it. First, access the top page of Brave Search and search for any word. This time, I searched for the sentence 'how to use Brave'.

The search result looks like this. At the top, the Brave commentary page and Brave official support page of the technology news site PCMag were displayed, and below that, Brave related threads on Reddit were displayed in a row as a result of 'Discussions'.

At the time of writing the article, only Reddit and Stack Exchange pages are displayed in 'Discussions', and Brave plans to add corresponding pages in the future.
