Why use JoshWho Search?

JoshWho Search may not offer you as personalised results as Google, but it doesn't generate a profile about you.
JoshWho Search doesn't care about what you search for, never shares anything with a third party, and it can't be used to compromise you.
JoshWho Search powered by Searx is free software, the code is 100% open and you can help to make it better. See more on github.

If you do care about privacy, want to be a conscious user, or otherwise believe in digital freedom, make searx your default search engine or run it on your own server

Technical details - How does it work?

JoshWho Search is a metasearch engine, inspired by the seeks project. It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request on every browser (except Chromium-based browsers*). Therefore they show up in neither our logs, nor your url history. In the case of Chromium-based browser users there is an exception: searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests. JoshWho Search can be added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default search engine.

How to set as the default search engine?

JoshWho Search supports OpenSearch. For more information on changing your default search engine, see your browser's documentation:
