What is raisearch?
A privacy-focused metasearch service, operated by Raithe.
RaiSearch is a live metasearch aggregator developed and operated by Raithe Industries Inc. It is a hosted service: you use it directly at raithe.ca, with nothing to install and nothing to configure.
A service which can be used online in-browser or installed on any device as an app.
When you search, you are using our service on our physical infrastructure. We maintain it, we are responsible for it, and we stand behind it. There is no self-hosting step and no setup — you open the site and search.
What does it DO?
A single search on raisearch is sent to several established search engines at once - raisearch collects their responses, removes duplicates, and presents one clean, ranked set of high-quality results. Instead of trusting one engine's view of the web, you see a combined distilled view.
What makes it different?
- Privacy-focused. raisearch is built around respecting the person searching. See the Privacy page for our approach.
- Unified results. Multiple engines, one de-duplicated result set — broader coverage from a single query.
- Operated and maintained. raisearch is a supported product of a real company, not an unattended tool.
- Honestly funded. raisearch is supported by privacy-respecting, non-tracking advertising. That funding lets © RAiTHE keep the service running and growing.
Accounts
Today, searching raisearch requires no account. As Raithe grows and brings more products to its users, optional accounts are planned — but using raisearch to search will remain free, independent and straightforward.
