Brave Search - BoostGPT Documentation

Web, news and image search on its own index. A fallback when Google’s results are not available.

Connecting

In the dashboard, open Connectors, find Brave Search and press Connect. The key you enter is checked against Brave Search before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.
