    About MetaGer

    MetaGer is a metasearch engine developed and operated by the German non-profit organization SUMA-EV. It combines results from several large search engines and its own indexes to provide comprehensive search results without tracking users. The service prioritizes privacy by using an anonymous proxy for visiting websites, offering access via a TOR hidden service, and ensuring no IP addresses or user-agent data are stored. As an open-source project under the GNU AGPL license, it offers transparency regarding its search algorithms and data handling practices.
