CoopSearch is back. After a period offline, the project has been rebuilt from the ground up with stronger hardening, a cleaner experience, and the same commitment to privacy that drove it the first time around.
Every time you search on Google, Bing, or most popular search engines, you're not just getting results; you're being profiled. Your queries are logged, tied to your identity, and used to build an advertising target out of you. Beyond tracking your searches, these platforms use browser fingerprinting, silently collecting details about your device, screen, fonts, and behavior, to identify and follow you across the web even when you're not logged in.
CoopSearch eliminates that. It's a private metasearch engine that pulls results from over 250 sources, including Google, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, and dozens more, without ever knowing who you are. No accounts. No tracking. No profiles. No fingerprint. Just answers. This version also includes residential proxy rotation, meaning outgoing search traffic is distributed across a rotating pool of residential IPs; so your queries never originate from a single identifiable server and search engines can't build a pattern around your instance.
What makes CoopSearch different isn't just what it doesn't do, it's what it does better. By querying multiple search engines simultaneously, CoopSearch gives you broader, less algorithmically-manipulated results than any single engine could. You get the full scope of the web without handing your search history or your digital identity to a corporation whose business model depends on knowing everything about you.
As for why I run this, the answer is simple. I believe privacy is a right, not a feature. I'm not selling anything, not collecting anything, and not looking for recognition. I built this because I wanted it to exist, and because the people I share it with deserve better than what the default internet gives them. That's it.
Search like no one's watching. Because no one is. Search free. Stay dark.
