This page is for corrections, questions about something published here, and citation enquiries from researchers and journalists. The form on this page composes a message in your own mail client, already addressed; nothing is submitted to a server on this site and nothing is stored here. If your mail client does not open, the same message can be sent by ordinary email — the form is a convenience, not a requirement.
Corrections are the point of this page
SearchEngines.Net is a reference, and a reference that is wrong and does not know it is worse than one that is incomplete. Search engines change ownership, switch result providers, quietly drop a crawler, revise their privacy documentation, or shut down without an announcement. Some of those changes are announced clearly; many are noticed first by someone who uses the engine every day. If a page here no longer matches reality, the fastest way for that to be fixed is for a reader to say so.
What a useful correction contains
Three things make a correction easy to check, and a correction that can be checked gets acted on quickly:
- The page. The address of the page, or its title. Several engines are described on more than one page — a profile, a category index, a guide — and a claim usually needs fixing in each place it appears.
- The claim, as printed. Quote the sentence or the fact-panel entry that is wrong. This removes any ambiguity about which statement is at issue, and it often reveals that the disagreement is about phrasing rather than fact.
- A source. Something that can be read independently: the engine's own documentation or help pages, a dated post on its blog, a company filing or registration record, a regulator's decision, a published measurement with its methodology, or an archived copy of a page that has since changed.
Primary sources carry the most weight here. An engine's own crawler documentation is better evidence about its crawler than an article describing that documentation, and a dated announcement is better evidence than a summary of it. Where a source can only be found in a web archive, the archived link is worth including — a great deal of search engine history now exists nowhere else.
A correction without a source is still worth sending. It will be treated as a pointer to something that needs re-checking rather than as a fact, which is often exactly what is needed: the reader who notices that an engine's results have visibly changed is usually right that something happened, even without knowing what.
What happens to a correction
Each engine described here has a sourced fact sheet behind its page. A correction is checked against that fact sheet and against the source supplied. One of four things then follows. The page is amended and the fact sheet updated with the new source and date. Or the existing source and the new one genuinely conflict, in which case both are printed with their attributions rather than one being chosen silently. Or the claim turns out to be unsupportable in either direction, and it is hedged explicitly or removed — an absent fact is better than a confident wrong one. Or the page is right, in which case the wording is usually still worth examining, because a sentence that misleads a careful reader has a problem even when it is technically accurate.
Things this page cannot do
This site is unaffiliated with every search engine it describes, so it has no ability to act on anything internal to one. Requests to remove a result, correct an entry in an engine's index, recover an account, unblock a site, or report a bug all need to go to the engine itself; each of them has its own channel and none of them read anything sent here. The same applies to complaints about search results, advertising placements, or material appearing in an engine's answers.
Inclusion cannot be bought, and neither can placement or a more favourable description. No advertising is accepted from the engines covered here, and there are no paid or affiliate arrangements behind anything published. Messages proposing a payment, a reciprocal link, a “partnership” or a sponsored mention are not answered. Suggestions of engines that genuinely ought to be documented are welcome and are treated purely on whether the engine is worth documenting — obscure, regional and defunct engines are of particular interest, because they are the least well covered anywhere.
For researchers, students and journalists
Pages here name their sources and date anything that can move, so a claim can be traced back and cited at its origin rather than through this site. Where a figure is disputed, the disagreement is shown rather than resolved, and quoting the disagreement is usually more accurate than quoting either number alone. Questions about how a particular verdict was reached, or about which source supports a specific line, are answerable and welcome — that is what the fact sheets are for.
Privacy of your message
Because the form composes a message in your own mail client, nothing you type into it reaches this site until you choose to send it, and the site records nothing about visitors who open this page and change their minds. Once sent, the message is ordinary email: it sits with your mail provider and the recipient's, and it is subject to their retention practices rather than to anything this site controls. Send only what the correction needs. This page reflects how the site operates as of 19 August 2026.
