What Are Goggles and How Can They Change Your Search Results?
Goggles Explained:
Goggles are filters created using specific syntax or rules that adjust how Brave Search ranks results. You can follow public Goggles or create your own to change how results are displayed according to your preferences. For example, Goggles like News From The Left and News From The Right offer a higher chance of seeing results aligned with specific political leanings.
Goggles can go beyond politics; for instance, No Pinterest ensures no results from Pinterest appear.
How to use Goggles
- After searching, you’ll see the Goggles option appear. You can click it to view available Goggles or click on Discover More to find new ones.
- Clicking Discover More takes you to https://search.brave.com/goggles/discover where you can find a variety of Goggles to follow. Unfortunately, not all existing Goggles are displayed at once, so try using specific keywords in the Search Public Goggles box to explore.
Example:
- Let’s say I want to follow Tech Blogs. I find it in the Goggles list and hit the “+” to add it to my following list.
- Once added, Tech Blogs will move to your list of followed Goggles.
