 Hello everyone and welcome back to another Ethan Journal video and today's video I'm going to be showing you guys a project that I've worked on for about a week now and it's finally ready. It's finally online and it's finally time for me to share it with you guys. So what did I did? Well you probably already know from the title of today's video I made a search engine and yes indeed you can use it. It's called one tab search and it's honestly pretty cool. It is based on the search engine project over on github which again I'll have linked in the description. I did not code this myself but I did customize it and make it fit what I wanted to do and it's basically focused on privacy and ease of use. This search engine is free and open for you guys. It has a website which you'll learn more about later in today's video or down in the description but in today's video I'm going to be showing you guys how it works and some of the cool features about it. So let's head over to the computer. So here we are on the main screen that most of you guys will see when you open up your browser. You most likely use Google. I can't guarantee everyone does because I don't use Google I actually use Brave because I use the Brave browser web browser and they come with their own search engine which I like a lot but I actually might be switching over to my own search engine because it has a really cool, it has acquired a few actually cool features. Again I did not code this myself. I'll link to below where you can actually get this and install it yourself on your own server or something but the way that you get to mine is called one tab search. You can actually see out my Linode window up there but just go to Google and go to one tab search dot site. This is the URL. Now again like I said it's based on searching. That's how it's pronounced I guess and it looks a lot like Google but there's some really cool main features. For example let me just search for let's say like YouTube if I can type. Search YouTube and then we'll click there. This is going to load up and it looks a lot like Google but you'll see here YouTube is up at the top but you'll see down here it's wiki data, Google, Quant, Brave, DuckDuckGo. What this web search engine does is not only does it pull from like one other search engine like Google or DuckDuckGo it searches every single one in existence. Well at least most of them. Ones like Wikipedia, Google, Brave, DuckDuckGo, all of these other ones that exist. It goes to them and inputs the exact same query that you ask to search for puts them into there and then gives you one list of all the results from all the search engines giving you pretty accurate data and finding the majority of the sites that you may want. Now the other key feature about using one tab search my search engine the main feature that I would use it for is privacy. When you search something on Google or even DuckDuckGo they are profiling you and taking what you're searching and using that to sell to advertisers across if you use Google across all Google services anywhere there's Google ads present which is on a lot of websites around the web. DuckDuckGo is a lot more secure but they do have this weird deal going on with Microsoft so they're not as secure as most people think sadly. But by using one tab search you can guarantee that your data is not being stored anywhere. I don't access it. Leno doesn't access it. The coders, the developers of search x or whatever it's called again they don't access it. It's all safe and secure it's deleted right after you search it. I did this I use this search engine to base mine off of because of privacy because of security and it was easy enough to set up that I could install it on a server. So for the most part this is actually pretty darn secure. You won't have to worry about that many problems with this and if there is a bug you can contact me over on my website. Now let me walk you through some of the different things that this search engine has. So if you go over here you can see it's powered by searching. This you can learn more about it. I'll again I'll have the github thing linked down in the description but if we go back here you'll notice up here there's preferences. There's actually quite a few options you can do. So not only if you don't want to just find websites you can default when you search something to be images, videos, news, maps all this stuff and again it's searching across everything. Now you can actually choose where your autocomplete comes from so I have mine set to google because google autocomplete is pretty nice but you can choose any of these other ones for it to autocomplete from or just turn autocomplete off all together. But I do like having it on and I think it's a pretty useful feature so I'm just gonna leave it on. Now you can have safe search on. I do use it most of the time but because I just set this up it does refresh every time but you can set it up to always keep on your browser but we'll set that off for now. And the hostname replace and all this other stuff are features if you know how to use them feel free. Use your interface so you can actually change this if you want to have light theme which I don't know who wants that but if you want light you can have light mode. I certainly like dark mode better but if you like it in light mode feel free. There's so many other features that you can just run through here and there's so much other stuff. So again if you head over to one tab search dot site that is where you can find it. I'm going to keep this up for at least a year. I'll do an update right as my billing cycle is going to end for this and if you guys let me know that you're still using this if it's still something you want to see up I'll may consider doing another year of hosting this. It is somewhat expensive it's costing me roughly five bucks a month to host it and then an extra $25 a year for the domain name security and DDoS prevention and all this other stuff that I am paying for. So I would like to say a big thank you to my patreons if you want to help support this feel free to go over to my patreon and support me there that'll help projects like this continue to work in fact if you go over to donate right here it'll actually take you straight to my patreon here for as little as $1 per month but yeah that is my search engine one tab search feel free to use it you can head over to my website if you would like to at ethanarman.com you can find it in the projects tab or just head over to one tab search dot site again I will have the searching github page linked down in the description along with the link to one tab search so I hope you guys use one tab search if you really do enjoy it be sure to leave a comment about it if you have any features or if you want to help me with this I'm trying to figure out a few extra things trying to get custom branding maybe I could switch this out with a one tab logo that I have designed get like cool different themes for this but yeah I'm going to continue actively developing on this maybe I'll post a few more updates in the future but other than that that's all I have for today's video be sure to check out one tab search but until then have a great rest of your day everyone thanks for watching and goodbye
