Presearch spreads search across a community network of tens of thousands of nodes instead of one company. No single operator can see your full history or build a profile from it. It’s free and pays you in its PRE token for searching, which you can stake on nodes or spend on ads. The results are aggregated from other engines rather than a homegrown index. Only part of the stack is open source. The token economy will draw some people and put others off. Of everything here it’s the most unusual. It suits anyone drawn to a community-run alternative with rewards built in.
