Is Brave Search down right now?
Brave Search is the search engine from the company behind the Brave browser, and it runs on its own independent index. Reported problems include searches that hang or return errors and an AI answer box that does not appear; a multi-region check shows whether the outage is global.

Is Brave Search down right now?
This page requests search.brave.com from 22 locations on six continents at the same time. Each location reports the HTTP status code and the response time. When most locations fail, Brave Search is down for everyone. When only a few fail, the problem is regional. When every location gets an answer, Brave Search is up and the problem is probably between you and the site.
What should I do if Brave Search is down for me only?
Reload without the browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+R, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac) or open search.brave.com in a private window. Flush your DNS cache, or switch to a public DNS resolver such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. Turn your VPN or proxy off, or on, to take a different route, and try mobile data instead of Wi-Fi to rule out your ISP. If other sites fail too, contact your ISP.
