Search the web.
Leave no trace.
LibreSearch is a private search engine that gives you real results without logging your queries, building a profile on you, or selling your attention.
Privacy isn't a feature. It's the foundation.
No tracking
We never log your searches, store your IP, or tie queries to any account. Every search starts completely fresh.
No profiles
We never build an advertising profile from your searches. Your data isn't packaged or sold to anyone, ever.
Local by default
Your settings, history, and theme are stored entirely in your browser. Nothing is synced to any server.
How it works
Real results without the surveillance.
LibreSearch uses an independent search index that doesn't rely on Big Tech - so you get genuine, unfiltered results instead of a curated feed designed to keep you clicking.
Your query travels from your browser to our server, which forwards it on your behalf. The search index never sees who you are - your IP address, cookies, and browser fingerprint stay hidden.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you log my searches?
No. We never store your queries, IP address, or tie any search to an identity. Each search is processed and then forgotten.
Do I need an account?
No sign-up is required. LibreSearch works the moment you load the page - there are no accounts to create.
How does LibreSearch make money without ads?
LibreSearch doesn't sell ads or profile data. The project runs independently and is funded by its operators, not your attention.
Where are my settings stored?
Your settings, history, and theme live entirely in your browser via local storage. Nothing is synced to our servers.
Where do the results come from?
We use an independent search index and proxy your query anonymously, so you get genuine results without Big Tech tracking you.
