Comment summary: Presearch receives praise for its privacy features, multi-engine search capability, and community-driven approach, rewarding users with cryptocurrency for searching. Users appreciate the ease of use and customer support. However, some express concerns about search result relevance, the project's openness, and decentralized claims. It is seen as a promising alternative to traditional engines, though critiques exist about its true decentralization and potential crypto-earning risks.

Tutaly agree with lionking420 - it is a player in the passive crypto-earning global scam

Better than DuckDuckGo, more private.

Well, I was impressed until the fancy AI programs came out.

1.) Bad results, devoid of any question-answering algorithm

2.) doesn't provide much evidence that it is truly decentralized

3.) is a player in the passive crypto-earning global scam (web3tard)

Presearch doesn't do anything new Decentralized search engines existed 2 decades before the difference is that people are now incentive to run a node to crawl the Web and it's far easier to use them People who run nodes gain the money from all the Ads that are all over Presearch I don't know if its truly private though

To activate Presearch AI in your account, you must stake or hold at least 1000 in your PRE Wallet. Yes, we typically like free, but I'm going for it.

Allowing to combine all possible search engines to find any unbiased information is the future.

Good project but still needs a lot of work. The search results aren't as useful and relevant as google or duckduckgo. Devs are trying to make it open source too. 4/5

What is Presearch?

Presearch is a community-powered, decentralized search engine that provides better results while protecting your privacy and rewarding you when you search.

We believe that the best way to compete with the massive, centralized and monopolistic corporation that currently dominates search is to build a framework that enables people from all over the world to collaborate to build an open and decentralized search engine.

Our Key Differentiators:

  • Community Project: Community members can actively participate in the project using Presearch community chat groups, contributing instant information packages, or simply as users or promoters helping build usage and awareness
  • Decentralized Platform: Presearch is now preparing to release its first decentralized technology – a new search engine experience that runs on node servers operated by Presearch community members.
  • Better Search Results: The new Presearch Engine offers results that are as good as the world’s top search engines. It also provides an additional layer of data through community packages which makes those results even better. For example, you can search Presearch for “Bitcoin” to see what the crypto package looks like. Over time, there will be additional results provided by a user-curated supplementary index.
  • Privacy: In addition to better results, Presearch also protects your privacy because it does not track you or store your searches, and queries are handled by a decentralized network of node servers processing anonymized queries.
  • Rewards: As a Presearch community member, you earn Presearch reward tokens when you search, when you operate a node, and when you refer others to join Presearch. There will be other opportunities to earn rewards as the project evolves further.

A New Kind Of Advertising Model

In addition to offering users a great search experience, Presearch is dedicated to creating significant value for marketers who would like to reach Presearch users. Advertisers can stake their PRE to a keyword, and whichever advertiser stakes the most tokens will have its ads displayed when a user searches on the term selected. Advertisers confer the most external value on PRE, so their success is very important to the ecosystem.
