First, expecting a search engine that is relatively new to be as good as, say, Google prior to 2016 is unrealistic. Google has its tentacles enmeshed in every aspect of data gathering. Brave has only a fraction of Google's capacity for data parsing.
Second, your search parameters weren't as good as they could have been. You wasted too many characters on words that only muddy the search results. Querying with a complete sentence always leads to bad search results. Instead of asking "Where did REEEE come from", you should be doing something like:
"Reeeee" origins
Adding words like "from" is never going to be helpful.
I do share your concerns over Brave, but the gap between Google's capabilities and those of everyone else have always been shockingly vast because they hold a monopoly on data parsing. bad search results are the norm, so not proof of manipulation.
