Haystack boasts an impressive claim of indexing over 1.5 billion dark web pages, potentially making it one of the most extensive repositories among dark web search engines. Operating on a freemium model, users have the option to upgrade for an ad-free experience and access to features like historical website versions. Similar to DuckDuckGo, Haystack prioritizes user privacy, pledging not to track data or compromise privacy for profit.
In addition to its free version, Haystack offers a premium option with advanced features such as regular expression-based searches, browsing defunct onion sites, and API access. True to its name, Haystack excels in quantity rather than quality, providing a highly efficient means of scouring the dark web with its extensive index.
While the basic version may display occasional static ads unrelated to search results, they do not impede functionality. Whether opting for the basic or premium version, users can navigate the dark web with ease.
About Haystack Search Engine
We are a group of privacy campaigners who believe the internet should be free from state surveillance. We developed haystak to be a fast and comprehensive search engine because we were not satisfied with the ones already on offer – they frequently indexed too few pages to be particularly useful. Haystak has a custom crawler developed specifically for the darknet, and hence it is able to find all reachable pages and index them.
Whilst we offer some premium services this is simply to cover our costs – as you know, servers are not free sadly. They would be if we ran the world but we don’t.
Generally we don’t believe in censorship, but we make an exception for any content which is immoral or illegal for us to link to. Examples would be child abuse and human trafficking. If you find any of this indexed in our engine click the report link and we’ll remove it swiftly.
