Frequently Asked Questions
No. NotEvil's editorial position is full neutrality — what's indexed is what's returned. Other search engines quietly suppress categories of results; NotEvil refuses to do so as a matter of stated philosophy, leaving editorial decisions to the user rather than to the engine operator.
The name is a counter-positioning against the search-engine-as-content-moderator pattern that emerged in mainstream search. NotEvil's argument is that user autonomy requires unfiltered results — the user, not the engine, decides what's valuable from a query response.
Common operators familiar from clearnet engines — quoted exact phrases, OR/AND boolean, exclusion with minus, basic site-restriction with site:. The interface is deliberately minimal to load quickly on slow Tor circuits, sacrificing visual flourishes for raw responsiveness.
No single Tor search engine indexes everything — hidden services that don't advertise their .onion are unfindable by definition. NotEvil's coverage is broad but pair it with OnionLand or Ahmia for systematic discovery across multiple complementary indexes.
