Cuely is an open source web search engine hosted at cuely.io targeted towards tinkerers and developers.
- Keyword search that respects your search query.
- Advanced query syntax (
site:,intitle:etc.). - Rank webpages based on their harmonic centrality
- DDG-style !bang syntax
- Entity sidebar
- De-rank websites with third-party trackers
- Prioritize fresh content
- Regional search
- Customize how signals are combined during search for the final search result
- Use goggles to almost endlessly customize your search results.
- (Coming soon) Prioritize links (centrality) from the sites you trust.
We recommend everyone to use the hosted version at cuely.io, but you can also follow the steps outlined in CONTRIBUTING.md to setup the engine locally.
Cuely is offered under the terms defined under the LICENSE.md file.
You can contact us at hello@cuely.io or in our Discord server.
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 Cuely is built.
- The commoncrawl organization for crawling the web and making the dataset readily available.
