Presearch
presearch.com
Presearch is a decentralized search engine, powered by the community.

Browsing the web I came across this (meta) search engine. From the first glance, it seems promising and giving quite a good results to my searches. Definitely better than Google, Bing or DDG, which tend to be full of SEO/ads/AI bullshit these days. Does anyone use it?

It somehow implies it’s open source and indeed there is github https://github.com/PresearchOfficial too, but I can’t find any link from the presearch.com itself to it. It’s just… IDK, weird?

    That crypto part must be new, it definitely wasn’t there some time ago. Anyway, glad I’m not the only one smelling something fishy in this…

      I‘ve tested Presearch like 2 years ago and even back then it already had these “PRE tokens” you could earn by using it and get more by gambling/betting on search terms.

        I was PRE-blind then, which is not unexpected…
