MetaGer is a metasearch engine based in Germany. It is hosted as a cooperation between the German NGO 'SUMA-EV - Association for Free Access to Knowledge' and the University of Hannover.[1][2][3] In September 2013, MetaGer launched MetaGer.net, an English language version of their search engine.[4]
Features
Search querys are relayed to about 20 other search engines.[3][5] The results are filtered, compiled and sorted before being presented to the user.
Users can also select up to about 20 additional search engines among other options (such as "check for availability and sort by date").[6]
MetaGer provides access to their services only through encrypted connections. Since December 2013, there also is a TOR Hidden Service (b7cxf4dkdsko6ah2.onion/tor/) which allows users to access the MetaGer search functionality from within the TOR network.[7][8]
