Whoogle Search

A self-hosted, ad-free, privacy-respecting metasearch engine. Whoogle proxies your searches through Google and returns clean results — no ads, no JavaScript, no tracking, no AMP links, no IP-based results.

What You Can Do After Deployment

1. Visit your domain — start searching immediately with a clean, minimal interface
2. Search privately — all queries go through your server, Google never sees your IP
3. Configure preferences — dark mode, language, search region, safe search from the config page
4. Use as default search engine — add Whoogle as your browser's default search provider
