The Ethereum-based project is powered by blockchain to protect the identity of people who make searches related to data. Moreover, it directly competes against Google to organize and rank results.

Presearch’s founder Collin Pape suggests the new search engine is “one of the most centralized and important utilities on the web.” “The world deserves a search engine that is built by the people, for the people and that’s what Presearch is”, he added.
Pape further revealed the search engine has attracted more than 1.7 million registered users with around 300,000 active ones.
Over 100 operators reportedly provided feedback during beta testing of the blockchain-based search engine.
