  "textContent": "While “Google fallback mixing” is interesting in this context I do not see it being the root cause of the issue described by @eteszi .\n\nImportantly, 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.\n\nSee also: https://safe.search.brave.com/help/google-fallback\n\nIt 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.\n\nI would also recommend using “Brave Rerank” if you do not want google results to appear _at all_ in your search results.\n\nSee:\n\n  * Introducing Rerank: a fast, easy way for users to customize Brave Search rankings | Brave\n  * Easily customize your Brave Search results with Rerank | Brave\n\n",
