About Search
Search is a fork from the well-known metasearch engine searx, aggregating the results of other {{link('search engines', 'preferences')}} while not storing information about its users.

Why use it?
-
Search may not offer you as personalised results as Google, but it doesn't generate a profile about you.
-
Search doesn't care about what you search for, never shares anything with a third party, and it can't be used to compromise you.
Search is a metasearch engine, inspired by the seeks project. It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request on every browser (except Chromium-based browsers*). Therefore they show up in neither our logs, nor your url history. In the case of Chromium-based browser users there is an exception: Search uses the search bar to perform GET requests. Search can be added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default search engine.
How do I set it as the default search engine?
Search supports OpenSearch. For more information on changing your default search engine, see your browser's documentation:
- Firefox
- Microsoft Edge - Behind the link, you will also find some useful instructions for Chrome and Safari.
- Chromium-based browsers only add websites that the user navigates to without a path.
