Stract is an open source web search engine hosted at [stract.com](https://stract.com/) targeted towards tinkerers and developers.






  









# 💡 Features

- Keyword search that respects your search query.

- Fully independent search index [with our own crawler](https://stract.com/webmasters).

- Advanced query syntax (`site:`, `intitle:` etc.).

- DDG-style [!bang syntax](https://duckduckgo.com/bang)

- Wikipedia and stackoverflow sidebar

- De-rank websites with third-party trackers

- Use [optics](https://github.com/StractOrg/sample-optics/blob/main/quickstart.optic) to almost endlessly customize your search results.

  - Limit your searches to blogs, indieweb, educational content etc.

  - Customize how signals are combined during search for the final search result

- Prioritize links (centrality) from the sites you trust.

- Explore the web and find sites similar to the ones you like.

- And much more!

# 🏆 Thank you!

We truly stand on the shoulders of giants and this project would not have been even remotely feasible without them. An especially huge thank you to

- The authors and contributors of Tantivy for providing the inverted index library on which Stract is built.

- The commoncrawl organization for crawling the web and making the dataset readily available. Even though we have our own crawler now, commoncrawl has been a huge help in the early stages of development.
