Feels like Google Search from 2008.

Do not use Brave for anything. Not now, now then, not ever. https://www.kevinmuldoon.com/do-not-use-brave-browser/

You do you, I just want a search that shows what I asked and a browser that doesn't suck, is fast and has built in ad blocker, fingerprinting blocker and BS blocker (cookie popup).

So many people sleep on Brave search. I agree, it's like Google from 08. It just searches for what you ask for. You can disable AI overviews. It's quick. Has a nice UI. It's free lol

Entered search term. AI response included in the result. Ah, yes. Just like 2008.

This can be disabled, but the results underneath are still good.

Wow it really does. Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome!

At present, it works from commend line although a little slow

No CAPTCHA, no User-Agent header required but need SNI

The name collision with the browser is a bit unfortunate. If you set it to default search engine in Chrome on mobile, 'Search with Brave' is very ambiguous!

It's the same company isn't it? So they share the unfortunateness.

Same company

Sure, and one product is the browser, the other is search :-/ @BrendanEich
