Multi-Search
Ask once, and reach every search engine worth asking. Pick what kind of thing you are looking for on the left; the sources change to match.
Some modes fetch results and show them here. Others hand you links instead — because Brave, DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, Startpage and Marginalia refuse requests from servers and only answer real browsers. Friend in the Cloud doesn't pretend to be you: where an engine will not talk to a server, your browser does the asking.
This mode fetches results and shows them here, tagged with the engine that found each one.
Engines with their own index — these see a different web
Engines that resell Google or Bing — useful as a baseline
Search tricks that work almost everywhere

If one ignores an operator you will simply get broader results, not an error.
Your search goes to Friend in the Cloud's own search service, which asks several engines at once and merges what comes back. We do not store it: the query is held in memory for the seconds it takes to answer and is written to no log or database. The engines still see the query, but they see it from our server, not from you. Where a mode hands you links instead, nothing leaves your browser at all.
