What Merdot Search does

Web search without an advertiser in the loop.

Results, knowledge panels and site icons, delivered without a profile being built on the other side.

Ad-free results

No sponsored placements, no paid ranking, nothing that looks like a result but is not one. The first result is the best match, not the highest bidder.

No tracking

No search history stored against a person, no advertising identifiers, no third-party scripts on the results page. A query is answered and then forgotten.

Knowledge panels

A summary card for the entity behind the query · a person, a place, a product, a topic · with the facts and the sources they came from.

Favicons through a privacy proxy

Site icons in a result list are fetched by Merdot's proxy, so the sites you have not clicked yet never see your browser or address.

Merdot's own index

Merdot crawls and indexes the web itself. Ranking is Merdot's, tuned for relevance rather than for what an advertiser would pay to show.

Open engines for coverage

Where Merdot's index is thin, open engines fill the gap. Results are merged and re-ranked by Merdot, so coverage is broad without a single source deciding what you see.

How it is built

Three commitments. One results page.

Each one is a property of the product, not a setting you have to find.

Questions

Before you switch.

Is Merdot Search live?
Yes, at search.merdot.com. It works without an account; signing in with a Merdot account adds nothing that tracks you, it only carries your preferences.
Where do the results come from?
From Merdot's own index of the web, merged with open engines for coverage. Merdot ranks the merged set itself, with no advertiser or paid placement in the loop.
What does no tracking actually mean here?
No search history is stored against a person, no advertising identifiers are set, and the results page carries no third-party scripts. Site icons in the result list are fetched by Merdot's own proxy, so the sites you see never learn your browser or address before you click.
What is a knowledge panel?
A summary card for the person, place, product or topic a query is about, with the facts and the sources they came from, shown beside the results so the answer is often on the page before a link is opened.
How does Search fit with the rest of Merdot?
Search is the web layer of a ten-product family on one account. Merdot AI answers and reasons; Search checks the live web. Both sign in with the same Merdot account.
