TorSearch Manifesto

TorSearch exists to create a transparent, privacy-focused and anonymous onion search engine that reflects the real state of the dark web without manipulation, censorship, tracking or artificial ranking systems.

Why TorSearch Exists

The onion network is not truly searchable in a fair and transparent way. Most existing dark web search engines manipulate results, inject bias or selectively hide parts of the network.

Some prioritize profit. Others prioritize control.

TorSearch takes a different approach: no manipulation, no tracking and no artificial filtering.

The goal is not to curate the darknet — but to reflect it as it actually is.

Privacy by Design

  • No logs
  • No user tracking
  • No fingerprinting
  • No behavioral profiling

Search queries are not stored, analyzed or linked to user identity. TorSearch operates without collecting personal user data and is designed for anonymous dark web searching.

Technical Transparency

TorSearch uses an independent crawler specifically designed for indexing onion websites and hidden services across the Tor network.

  • Discovers new .onion services from known sources
  • Follows links recursively across indexed pages
  • Extracts titles, content and metadata
  • Checks availability and online status
  • Stores searchable indexed results automatically

There is no manual whitelist or curated inclusion layer. If a page is reachable and parsed successfully, it becomes part of the onion index.

How Ranking Works

TorSearch does not sell ranking positions or artificially boost search results.

  • Keyword relevance within title and content
  • Frequency of mentions across indexed onion pages
  • References from other onion services
  • Basic activity and freshness signals

There is no hidden promotion layer, sponsored boosting or manual suppression of results.

Visibility emerges naturally from the network itself rather than from external control.

We Do Not Shape the Network

TorSearch does not apply ideological or commercial filtering. If a page exists, is reachable and can be indexed, it becomes searchable.

Live Onion Indexing

TorSearch continuously crawls and updates its dark web index in real time. Newly discovered onion services and hidden websites are automatically processed and added to the searchable database.

The live crawl feed displays the latest discovered and checked onion services while the full index continues growing in the background.

Mission

  • Respect anonymity
  • Index without bias
  • Reflect reality instead of shaping it

TorSearch is not a gateway. It is a mirror of the onion network.

Legal Disclaimer

TorSearch is an automated onion search engine that indexes publicly accessible .onion services. We do not host, control or operate any third-party content.

TorSearch does not promote, endorse or support illegal activities of any kind. Search results are generated automatically and may contain links to external resources outside our control.

All indexed results reflect the current state of the onion network as discovered by the crawler. Listings are not manually curated, modified or censored.

Users are solely responsible for how they interact with any content accessible through search results.

TorSearch does not monitor, log or store user search queries. No tracking, profiling or behavioral analysis is performed.

By using this service, users acknowledge that TorSearch acts strictly as an indexing and discovery tool rather than as a publisher or intermediary of third-party content.
