    It doesn't get in your way, minimalistic, no AI, relatively transparent (as far as a business can be), lots of european, independent search indexes to choose from, hosted on EU servers, EU payment providers, etc... lots of customization options, accept cash and crypto, has most features that a modern search engine is expected to have (bangs, domain boosting/exclusions, AI slop labeling, URL rewrites, etc..)

Paid and proprietary when there's free and open source alternatives

No email/account needed but only customer id (or even own search url).

Enabling result favicons was fortunately possible, a must for me. Other permanent search customizations were decent too, I suggest to check.

I see that the results might deter some people, but that is the cost of wanting to use smaller European indices like EUSP or even Marginalia. I found them good enough. There is the option to prioritize the traditional indices more.

Replying to @Bruno Bernardino

@Bruno Bernardino What comes to mind, some automatic infoboxes on top for simple searches, such as searxng does it for e.g. wikipedia entries. Also there doesn't seem to be a sort by date/freshness feature? In addition to Web/Images, there could be a "News".

The additions of filtering preferences was good. Keep it up!

What is Uruky?

Uruky is a private search engine: no ads, no tracking, no search logging.

Your account is an account number only (like Mullvad), no email or name stored. Servers, data, and payment are all in the EU. You pay a small monthly fee (€5), when you use it; you’re the customer, not the product.

What you get with Uruky

  • Private search: no ads, no tracking, no query logging
  • Personalization: boost or exclude domains and TLDs in your results
  • EU-based: infrastructure and search providers in the EU
  • “Just search”: no ecosystem, no AI assistants, focused search only
