About

Welcome to Ponder! This is an indie search engine project that puts websites first and values the open web. Here, helpful human-made sites rank above the flood of spam, scams, and commerce. We believe that information is for everyone, and should not be in the hands of a few AI companies where hallucinations are common and monetization is king.

Our goal is to steadily grow via donations from visitors, and keep our search results sponsor-free.
