Brave releases its own privacy-preserving image and video search
Using the company’s own index rather than Bing APIs.
“Brave Search users can now search for images and videos without being redirected to Google or Bing, though some advanced search capabilities are still absent.”

In fairness to Brave, Google has been scaling back search features too, over time. Do you remember when it would allow you to search a date range? Melpomene Farms remembers.
I just pulled it up to make sure I'm not dumb. The date range feature is still there. What am I missing?
It's possible they're currently doing AB testing and removing it for some folks and not others to see how much it's used or if they can get away with not having a date range.
There used to be a "custom" option that allowed you to specify a date range... unless something is up from my end or they locked that feature behind a login-wall?
I still have that option is what I'm saying.
What platform / browser, if you don't mind my asking? Are you logged in? Just trying to narrow down the behavior.
it's still there for me as well, logged in or not, but only on desktop
Logged in. Was using brave at the time but it doesn't seem to matter which browser I'm on.
What is the reason for removing search functionality? Is it really just to make it harder to find what people want and potentially be served more ads? Hopefully site:whateverbutprobablyreddit.com never goes on the chopping block.
People will search for something, won't see it below a bunch of ads, then go back and make a more specific search so they can be served more ads.
I've tried site and my results on images seemed... less than optimal, but I'll try again tonight.
I'm at a loss at to why. Isn't search supposed to be capable of... you know... searching?
How about Google SearchWiki? Or even just starring results?
