Frequently Asked Questions
What is SearXNG?
SearXNG is a free, open-source metasearch engine that aggregates results from Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and others while stripping tracking parameters and anonymizing requests.
Do you store my searches?
No. PrivateSearch does not have a backend database. Queries are passed directly to the chosen SearxNG instance and are not logged on our servers.
Which SearxNG instance is best?
Different instances have different uptime and rate limits. If one fails, switch to another from the dropdown. You can also host your own instance for complete control.
Is this really private compared to DuckDuckGo?
DuckDuckGo is good, but it's still a single provider. By using a SearxNG frontend, you can switch instances, avoid centralized profiling, and benefit from the open-source ecosystem. PrivateSearch itself adds no tracking.
