Frequently asked questions

What is this?

This is a metasearch engine that gets results from other engines, and strips away all of the tracking parameters and Microsoft/globohomo bullshit they add. Most of the other alternatives to Google jack themselves off about being ""privacy respecting"" or whatever the fuck but it always turns out to be a total lie, and I just got fed up with their shit honestly. Alternatives like Searx or YaCy all fucking sucks so I made my own thing.

My goal

Provide users with a privacy oriented, extremely lightweight, ad free, free as in freedom (and free beer!) way to search for documents around the internet, with minimal, optional javascript code. My long term goal would be to build my own index (that doesn't suck) and provide users with an unbiased search engine, with no political inclinations.

How can I trust you?

You just sort of have to take my word for it right now. If you'd rather trust yourself instead of me (I believe in you!!), all of the code on this website is available trough my git page for you to host on your own machines. Just a reminder: if you're the sole user of your instance, it doesn't take immense brain power for Microshit to figure out you basically just switched IP addresses.
