Alternative Example, enter into the Brave Search Field (not in the URL address field) at https://search.brave.com:

  • penny

and search. Notice the results. Next, enter in the Brave Search Field (not in the URL address field):

  • penny NOT site:wikipedia AND NOT site:usmint.gov

Notice the results and the difference between the two results sets.
