There are already multiple search engines for Tor, including DuckDuckGo.
The problem with Hidden services/ TOR isn't search. It's the fact there aren't enough legitimate/trusted websites that appeal to users outside the hardcore privacy/security crowd.
edit: fixed Tor capitalization.
- IceyEC 13y agoDuckDuckGo isn't a search engine for Tor, it just provides a hidden service interface to its regular search engine. If you want to make a hidden service to help improve the overall quality, let me know and I can help you get it all setup.
- cmaury 13y agoI thought you could limit searches to .onion domains. Oh, well. Thanks for the offer to help. There are a few ideas for site that I would want to see on the Tor network, but I don't think they would have the draw enough traffic to get people running TOR on the regular. Though writing this gave me an idea: is there a .onion Torrent index? edit: fixed Tor capitalization
- IceyEC 13y agoDo you mean like a tracker that is a hidden service or something else?
- dublinben 13y agoYou can download the entire PirateBay database of magnet files, in under 100 MB. If you want to provide a robust place to grab torrents, a hidden service is a good idea. Beyond that, I think that dedicated TOR users will shy away from using BitTorrent since it's a huge privacy risk. They're more likely to be using FreeNet or I2P for anonymous P2P filesharing.
- GunlogAlm 13y agoDDG doesn't search Tor, it's just a .onion version of their regular site. Also, it's Tor not TOR. https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#WhyCalledTor https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#WhyCalledTor
