Brave uses their own search index, so they are quite literally trying to do that.

Ecosia already has more users than Brave Search according to the few sources I could find that even tried to estimate market share for search engines that niche. They're all less than a percent either way though, and nobody's gunning to beat the 13th most popular search engine, especially when number 1 has 80-90% of the market according to most estimates.
