# Brave Search
|
|
|
|
**Mode**: 🌐 Public · **Domain**: `search.brave.com`
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
| Command | Description |
|
|
|---------|-------------|
|
|
| `opencli brave search <keyword>` | Search Brave Search and extract results from the page |
|
|
|
|
## What works today
|
|
|
|
- Uses browser mode to search `search.brave.com` and extract ranked results via DOM queries.
|
|
- Supports `--offset` for GET-based pagination. Brave returns approximately 18 results per page.
|
|
- Results include rank, title, URL, and snippet.
|
|
- `--limit` must be between 1 and 18; `--offset` must be a non-negative page offset.
|
|
|
|
## Current limitations
|
|
|
|
- Requires browser mode. Brave Search does not offer a public, no-auth search API.
|
|
- DOM structure uses Svelte-generated class names that may change with updates.
|
|
- Some results may have empty snippets depending on Brave's layout.
|
|
|
|
## Usage Examples
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Basic search
|
|
opencli brave search "machine learning"
|
|
|
|
# Limit results
|
|
opencli brave search "machine learning" --limit 5
|
|
|
|
# Pagination (second page)
|
|
opencli brave search "machine learning" --offset 1
|
|
|
|
# JSON output
|
|
opencli brave search "machine learning" -f json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Requires Chrome running (Standalone mode will auto-launch) or the [Browser Bridge extension](/guide/browser-bridge).
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Brave Search renders results server-side; all results are present in the initial HTML (no lazy loading).
|
|
- Brave also shows an AI-generated summary box as the first result. The adapter filters this out via the `.standalone` class check.
