Would like to have (at least I couldn’t find any documentation) on search modifiers much like DDG “filetype:xyz” and “site:xyz.com” (It does appear that brave search supports “site:xyz.com” but I can’t find any documentation on it).

Or if someone can point me to any documentation for Brave.

Hi, I don’t have any answer for you, I found you because I just realized that there is a bug when you search something using “filetype:svg” filter. It throws 403 Error with a message: “Your request has been refused by the server.”
The file extension seems it doesn’t matter. It is server-side bug so it event doesn’t matter what browser I use (tried Brave and FF so far).
How to reproduce:
just click on this link: https://search.brave.com/search?q=something+filetype%3Ajpg&source=web
I think this is related to your post so I won’t create a new bug report… Brave Search is still in beta anyway so I think someone is just testing new filtering functions. But maybe someone from the search team will notice this.

Came here to request same feature, they did add “site:” it seems, but “filetype:” gives me the following error:
Your request has been refused by the server.
- If you are accessing this page from Tor, try changing the exit node.
- If you are accessing this page from a popular VPN service, try to switch to a different server or region.
came to request the same feature!
yandex uses mime:pdf/docx/xlsx – would also be an acceptable modifier
Please add search modifiers like omit a word or phase. this will greatly improve search results
