PriEco: New open source web search engine

Privacy Guides Community [Unofficial] June 28, 2026

Hi, I’m from EU and when you wrote it, it was deep night. Otherwise, I’d have replied sooner

  1. I’m the founder and pretty much the only contributor. I do get a lot of help from the community. Programming isn’t the problem for me, it’s figuring out what people want and getting new ideas for PriEco. I can do it a lot too, but it’s always nice to get outside perspectives. A good idea is much more important for me than code contribution
  2. I do accept donations. The single biggest donor donated $480 to PriEco. For now it’s only in source code repository and only in crypto. I’ll make it better. Running PriEco is super cheap and I do have a personal interest in it. But I am very user focused and wouldn’t enshitify it
  3. Yes, I try to be as transparent as possible

Languages this is my fault, I chose to not filter by language but to only boost results in preferred language. This was a mistake and I will soon be fixing

Panel General is a setting category title. Language priorities results in selected language, location too. As I said I chose incorrectly and it needs fixing to work much better. If you want I can notify you when it’s fixed

Info thanks, will add there explanation under each setting

Freely ask me more
