In recent years web users started to look for google alternatives. A centralized company with massive marketing presence and a clear political bias that often censors free speach is something that makes people wary after all.

Presearch is one of the alternatives

The Presearch engine runs on a decentralized technology using the power of decentralized nodes that are operated by its community members.

The Presearch Engine harnesses the power of a number of the world’s top search engines and other data sources to provide users with a compelling search experience that offers great results, protects user privacy, provides more choice and control, while also being censorship-resistant.

Is it private?

The short answer is yes! Its engine does not store any user information as it runs on a decentralized network and qualifies as open-source software, unlike most search engines.

Token, nodes and rewards

Whenever users search anything by using the Presearch engine, they are rewarded with PRE tokens. The platform also rewards the node operators for their contribution to the Presearch network and requires them to stake their PRE tokens that offer server capacity on the network (usually 2000 PRE are required).

Presearch nodes can be installed on any computer or server that supports Docker, and provide the computing resources to power the Presearch Engine. Those running nodes are also rewarded with PRE tokens.

Marketing by presearch keyword staking

The Presearch Keyword staking platform enables advertisers to bid on keywords using PRE tokens to have their ads displayed. Whoever stakes or commits the most tokens to a keyword has their ad displayed.
