Ahmia
Appearance
Ahmia is a clearnet search engine for Tor's hidden services created by Juha Nurmi.
Developed during the 2014 Google Summer of Code with support from the Tor Project, the open source[1] search engine was initially built in Django and PostgreSQL. The site filters out child pornography.[2]
The service partners with GlobaLeaks's submissions and Tor2web statistics for hidden service discovery[3] and as of July 2015 has indexed about 5000 sites.[4]
In July 2015 the site published a list of hundreds of fraudulent fake versions of web pages (including such sites as DuckDuckGo, as well a dark web page).[5][6]
