Privacy-focused metasearch engine aggregating results from dozens of sources without tracking you.
Core Features
- Aggregates results from 70+ search engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.)
- No tracking, no logging, no cookies — true privacy by design
- Self-hostable: full data ownership and customization
- Clean interface with categories, filters, and infinite scroll
- Active community and regular open source development
What It Can't Do
- •Self-hosting requires some technical knowledge (Linux/Docker). Search result quality depends on upstream engines. Some features (e.g., advanced image search) need additional setup.
Use Cases
- Private web searching for individuals who value anonymity
- Organizations wanting a controlled search gateway without leaking data
- Users seeking an alternative to centralized search engines
