SearchTLD

Privacy Respecting and Fast Meta-Search Engine

IMPORTANT: The website will be down for at least a week, I have been struggling to work on this project more due to external obligations, contributions are needed more than ever right now to ensure the project stays alive. I will be trying my best to release at least bug fixes for SearchTLD. Thanks to everyone who contributed and used SearchTLD.
