What is Presearch?

It is a search engine, but to understand how different this search engine is, we are going to shed a light on one of the most famous search engines "Google": it controls 77% of all searches, influencing trillions of dollars in spending, shaping perceptions and effectively acting as the primary gatekeeper to the Internet. It monitors all your searches to use it while flooding you with ad campaigns. And this company has no concept of privacy, as they have explicitly stated it in their agreement:

" When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) "meaning CIA and NASA among others" a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content...This license continues even if you stop using our Services ... Our automated systems analyze your content (including emails) to provide you personally relevant product features, such as customized search results, tailored advertising, and spam and malware detection. This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored."

Understanding this agreement, are you willing to continue on feeding this monster, which is doing its best to abuse your content and influence your life style while making trillions from it.

Now, let's imagine an open and decentralized search engine that rewards its community members with Tokens for their usage, contribution to, and promotion of the platform.
