A search engine no single company can own.

One company answers most of the world's questions, decides what ranks, and records who asked. Wribble is the structural opposite: there is no central index, no query server, and no log — because there is nothing to log to.

How it works

When you use Wribble, your browser becomes a small, polite web crawler. It fetches public pages in the background, respects robots.txt, extracts titles and text, and builds a searchable index inside your browser's own storage (IndexedDB). When you type a query, JavaScript ranks your local index in milliseconds — the query never leaves your device.

Other people running Wribble are your peers. Browsers connect directly to each other over encrypted WebRTC channels and trade index entries: titles, URLs, and short snippets. Your searches can also be answered live by peers from their own indexes. The more people use Wribble, the bigger everyone's reachable index becomes — without any server in the middle.

What runs on our servers

Static files. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — the same for every visitor. There is no database, no analytics, no account system, and no mechanism for user data to arrive. You can verify this from your browser's network tab: during a search, zero bytes go to wribble.com.

Honest limits

Wribble will not out-cover the giant centralised engines. A browser-built index is small next to an index of hundreds of billions of pages. What Wribble offers instead is a different deal: your index, your device, your privacy, zero cost — and an index that compounds as the network grows. For the topics you and your peers care about, it gets good fast.
