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.

Tutaly agree with lionking420 - it is a player in the passive crypto-earning global scam
Sign up to earn.. well it's a choice. I think by now most people have learned that Cryptos have their pitfalls.

Better than DuckDuckGo, more private.
You have a choice of listing your search engines in the panel..which makes them handy. Presearch has some color, it handles Boolean search well, it doesn't plug any politicians, and it has well-structured options. I notice right off that PreSearch detects where I am for giving weather.. I guess that's doable with windows settings, but it makes me question privacy. One more thing, like all the other Search Engines I have found other than Google, it doesn't give up-to-the-hour time searches.. tough on news junkies like me.. but you have very easy button access to the major search engines, and it is great to have a true alternative to them.
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.
