To serve these Discussions, the Brave Search ranking algorithm detects queries where a discussion forum might give an alternative or complementary viewpoint to the search results. This “discussion worthiness” score is based on a variety of signals, including:
Freshness (or recency) of the topic
The popularity of the topic on a given forum
The quality of the conversation (as measured by user engagement, such as upvotes or responses)
The search quality score (which measures how relevant the discussion is to a query) - The Greatest Show in Baseball: The Savanah Bananas – Neatorama
