Today’s internet search engines have the power to track our personal data and decide what content can be listed as top results. Users are increasingly concerned that big tech companies have an outsized influence on the information they can view, while gathering enormous amounts of data through browser activity.
A group of American programmers has developed a new search engine intended to provide users with unbiased search results—without tracking the users’ IP, search history, and other information.
They named the search engine “Right Dao”—referring to Daoism and its philosophical pursuit of truth.
Right Dao developers have designed a new crawling and indexing method: The former referring to the process of scouring the internet for content, while the latter involves the storing and organizing of content found during crawling.
These newly developed techniques allow Right Dao to perform searches in an independent and uncensored manner, without relying on outside tools.
“We are a fully independent search engine. We have the infrastructure and built the technology from the ground up,” said Steve Smith, a developer at Right Dao. “[We] show the search results, free of manipulation.”
Smith gave an example of searching for the keywords “election fraud.” On the most popular search engines, the results on the first page all describe recent allegations of 2020 presidential election irregularities as unfounded.
In contrast, the results Right Dao shows include both negative and positive stories about election fraud.

Wow, that engine books, Smyth! Fastest I've ever used, I think. And the results are much different from all other search engines I tried. Good find, sir.

Are you tired of being tracked online? Maybe it’s time to consider privacy-focused search engines. Yesterday, we wrote about how Google is tracking you on 86% of the top 50,000 websites online. The more people learn about how Google tracks them online, the more they look for alternative search engines to keep them safe online.

There are a handful of privacy-focused search engines out there. Now, we have a new competitor to the Google search engine. This week, Presearch.org launches a decentralized search engine to let you take back control of your online privacy. Powered by blockchain technology, Presearch is a decentralized search engine that is powered by the community, for the community, meaning it is controlled by people like you and not the Big Tech giants.

Presearch not only protects your online privacy but also enables you to search privately, receive better results when you search. Presearch also rewards you with its PRE tokens.

This week, Blockchain-based startup Presearch.io has released a decentralized search engine to help provide a more private alternative to Google. Taking a play out of privacy-centric web browser Brave’s book, it also rewards its users with its native crypto token called PRE.

The Ethereum-based project uses searches powered by independent nodes to help protect the identity of the people who make queries for data. Moreover, it puts a dent in the monopolistic power of Google to organize and rank results.
