Great Web3 search engine. Ignore the bad reviews, of course the tokenomics are still being ironed out. Google wasn't built in a day either, and this has far more potential then that. And that's n... See more

Works well for searches

Works well for searches. Excited that they are about to roll out an automated check system so withdraw of pre will be easier and faster. I run 10 nodes and after vps cost they bring in about 80 dollars a month.

Zero Communication UPDATED

I submitted to withdraw my presearch and paid the fee requested to expedite the withdrawal. That was over 9 days ago. I no longer receive replies to my emails which is the only way to communicate with presearch.

**UPDATE
While it was originally frustrating to have my pre withdrawn, after I canceled the first request and opened a second request, and provided proof of the gas fee payment, my pre was promptly deposited into my account. I understand that this is a young project, but I believe better communication would have prevented any issues on my end. All in all my request was processed.

I installed Presearch

I installed Presearch, and I liked it, but with so many bad reviews I decided to uninstall it. But it never showed up on my list of search engines and so i had to completely reinstall a restore on my laptop. Not taking anymore chances with it. Install at your own risk.

Excellent Search Engine

I found this project due to my interest in crypto. I've now installed on my PC and Mobile. Its a very good search engine and I'm slowly building my rewards. It really is easy to setup and the searches are excellent! I would recommend using this if you are into crypto. I even use it with brave browser. So I'm earning presearch rewards on brave browser.

For me Presearch worked out perfectly

For me Presearch worked out perfectly. I cashed my 1,000 PRE eligible tokens from my browsing and referrals two months ago, I converted them for 305 USD on Kucoin and cashed them to my national fiat to pay the electricity bill which was very high.

Plus I earned on February 1st, 2020 - 1,600% profit from trading Presearch on exchanges. I have had very good experience with it, it's a very solid project and I strongly recommend it.

Great early development, enormous upside

Support a decentralized Web 3.0 and search with Presearch’s search engine. You’ll be rewarded for searching and if you offer additional value by operating a node, you’ll earn passive income for helping to run the search engine.

Many short-term minded people are criticizing Presearch for not having fast enough withdrawals, etc. The thing to remember is that Presearch is still an extremely early project. Within the past 4 months, the project has a seen significant growth from being added to Android phones in Europe as a default search engine.

I personally use the search engine every day and have seen slow but steady improvements to the results and communications by the team. I operate 10 nodes, compounding that passive income everyday. And I also am staking more than 10 keywords, which has brought me traffic/income to my business and social media accounts.

Ignore the negativity around the project. You’re supporting a decentralized internet and being paid in a cryptocurrency with enormous upside. Be patient, HODL, maximize your experience with Presearch by operating nodes and staking keywords. The project will only become smoother and more valuable over time. Keep Presearching

This is the best privacy-focused…

This is the best privacy-focused decentralized search engine you can ever get. Those who said this is a scam are scammers themselves who tried to cheat the system and got back nothing.

Decentralized search engine with enormous potential

I have been using it for over 2 years now and am enthusiastic about the concept of a decentralized search engine. In addition, I run various presearch nodes to make my contribution. And yes, I was able to successfully withdraw the PRE earned via the Reward and Referral System.

Regarding the negative reviews of my predecessors: if you try to outsmart the reward and referral system by creating multiple accounts per person, using click bots and so on, then you shouldn't be surprised when this is recognized and the PREs earned are blocked.

Free your searches from google...

Ignore the users reporting this as a scam. Truth is, they are scammers who are angry that they've been caught trying to game the search rewards that Presearch gives away. The Presearch team is one of the most open, responsive and honest that I have encountered in all the crypto projects I am involved in. Just use the Presearch search engine to avoid google's tentacles... the value of that is greater than any small crypto give-away.

One of the most promising crypto projects

One of the most promising projects in the current crypto space. Decentralised 'big-tech' (Google..) beating search engine, that even rewards people for using it. Advertisers will love it as you can promote keywords with PRE, without even losing that PRE used! It's called keyword staking. Anyone complaining about withdrawals either doesn't have a tiny bit of patience, isn't prepared to pay for necessary fees like everybody would need to anyway, or isn't willing to see the constant development and improvements made to the whole Presearch project, including the soon to be implemented new withdrawal system. Highly recommended.

Presearch is big scam.

Presearch is big scam.
I had 1020 tokens on their website, it was harder and harder to withdraw the tokens, then they just stopped withdrawal with message too high gas fees, so I just told myself I will wait, but then they added rule that you must be active and log in at least every year, but they didnt send any email or info, they just added this rule, and I wasnt online and they just stole my 1020 PRE !! Complete scam, dont invest, dont use it, just a waste of time and you just giving your money to this scam creator.

Presearch best search experience ever

I have been using Presearch since 2017. I have seen first hand how they have been developing the project from the ground up. The search experience now is amazing, unbiased and is decentralized. Nobody keep your search behavior to make money out of you. Try it, you wont't be dissapointed.

Accumulated ~250 PRE thus far

Accumulated ~250 PRE thus far.
Really liking the search results.
Seen a big improvement ui wise last month.
Project seems to be going places and has good fundementals.

Reading other reviews here some are clearly out dated.
Withdraw limit came down to 1000.
Value of the token went way up.

So I hope everyone's withdrawal issues get solved before I can withdraw ;)

Urgent Withdrawal Recommended

Initially thought it was a scam. Decided to take a leap of faith to send $20 of ETH for urgent withdrawal. Email replies were timely (within a day). The whole process of requesting urgent withdrawal and getting my 1000 PRE withdrawn took less than 2 days.
