  • Possibility of creating a personal blacklist
  • Function of the search in the search
  • Advertising-free search possible
  • Integration of search engine projects like YaCy
  • The only German search engine that combines results from several large web indexes
  • And much more…

What We Stand For

Guaranteed Privacy

Data protection and privacy are important to us. That’s why we don’t track or store personal data and offer several services to protect your privacy, for example our anonymizing proxy (“Open Anonymously” feature).

Non-Profit Association

MetaGer is a project of the non-profit association SUMA-EV, Association for Free Access to Knowledge. SUMA-EV is primarily committed to promoting media literacy.

Diverse and Free

MetaGer produces diverse results because it is a metasearch engine. We have explained exactly what this means in our transparency statement. By publishing our source code, we show that free access to knowledge is important to us. Our source code is free and open source.

100% Renewable Energy

Sustainability and resource consumption is also a big issue for us. Therefore we pay attention to the energy consumption of our services and only use electricity from renewable energy sources.
