ipfs-search.com

ipfs-search.com, launched in 2016, is a dedicated, open-source search engine tailored for the Interplanetary Filesystem (IPFS), a beacon for a truly democratized internet. Our service bridges the gap, allowing users to navigate and harness the potential of this innovative system.

Starting as a centralized service, our journey has been focused on evolving ipfs-search.com into a fully decentralized platform. Our roadmap includes distributing our search index daily over IPFS, implementing search directly over IPFS, and advancing towards a decentralized crawler as trustless computing algorithms develop.

Our mission is simple yet impactful: to provide a truly neutral perspective on information, free from political or commercial sway. As advocates for a re-decentralized web, we stand against the control exerted by tech giants, championing networks that reflect authentic connections between people.

By significantly reducing resource usage, leveraging spare computing and disk space, we envision a future where search is a public utility. It is our belief that this service should be owned and operated by the very people who use it, fostering a true sense of community and shared ownership.
