Brave are working on their search engine, they have been slowly inviting people to start using it (I got my invite a couple of weeks ago). As far as I know, it doesn't rely on other search engines for its results, although they do provide an optional setting to enable Google fallback in case a query doesn't return enough results, which mixes in Google results together with Brave's own.

Overall, I've been finding it pretty good. It has information cards for various entities on the right-hand side, similar to all other search engines. You can additionally search for images, news, and videos.
