Brave Search redirects to websites via Google

While “Google fallback mixing” is interesting in this context I do not see it being the root cause of the issue described by @eteszi .

Importantly, from my limited testing “google fallback mixing” is not a toggle-able setting for brave search outside of brave browser, and in a fresh install of brave browser (Android) “google fallback mixing” is disabled by default. Further I was able to reproduce the provided search query/result in both a non Brave browser using Brave search, and a fresh install of Brave browser with “google fallback mixing” disabled.

It is possible that the query provided by @eteszi was just something that Brave’s index had not yet fully covered so some indexed google results are floating to the top to fill that space.

I would also recommend using “Brave Rerank” if you do not want google results to appear at all in your search results.
