Although I hate the Brave browser, the search engine is the most useful of the others. It gives me the most correct results compared to the others, even it sometimes ignores the quality resources.

I wonder your opinion about the search engine. Do you have any negative ones?

My negative picks are:

By default it enables sending usage metrics and local search results which they claim to be anonymous.
Also unlike other search engines it doesn't have parameters for search query which can be used set your preferences, thus avoiding hustle to configure settings everytime.(in cases like delete cookies when browser closed and incognito mode).
