Mojeek

UK privacy-first search engine with its own independently built ~3.6B page index — the first search engine to pledge no tracking.

Independent web indexes maintain their own crawl of the web, separate from Google or Bing. This independence is valuable for AI applications that need unbiased search results, want to avoid rate limits on commercial search engines, or need specialized coverage. Several of these indexes are open source, allowing full transparency into how results are ranked.

Editorial assessment

Genuinely independent with its own crawler and index — no Google or Bing dependency. The privacy-first philosophy is principled and the UK base adds geographic diversity. The 3.6B page index is tiny compared to Brave's 40B+. Result quality reflects the smaller index. Best for privacy-sensitive applications or as a complementary data source.
