Google was fined $5 billion by EU regulators for illegally tying Google search to Android due to which Google now offers a choice of search engines.īrave’s co-founder and CEO Brendan Eich said, “As we know from experience, in many browsers the default setting is crucial for adoption, and Brave Search has reached the quality and critical mass needed to become our default search option and offer our users a seamless privacy-by-default online experience. The act of setting the search engine as default is a beneficial promotion tactic and so important that it has become significant focus of antitrust scrutiny.
Google has said for years and years it does not use click data because it finds it a poor metric for search.This a substantial step for cookie search engine Brave, which was launched in public beta this year. I wonder how helpful click data is for a search engine like Brave?
Interesting, in order to provide the highest quality & most relevant results, Brave's Web Discovery Project looks at -> Search queries, search result clicks, the URLs of pages visited in the browser, time spent on those pages, and some metadata about the pages themselves." - Glenn Gabe October 20, 2021 Which sites only allow crawling by the Google search botĭirect Hit, a search engine pre-2000, used click data for ranking purposes.How often a search result is clicked for a given keyword.How recent searches are for those keywords.
How closely search results match the search keywords (matching to exact words, parts of words, or synonyms).The thing is, Brave documented how it does ranking and it actually said it uses click data for ranking purposes.īrave documented some of what it uses in its ranking algorithm, at a higher level. Brave made some big news the other week when it announced it is replacing Google Search as the default in its Brave browser with its own search engine.
