Why Suede
A search engine that works for you — not for advertisers.
Superior corpus
We don't compromise. Neither should you. Not on quality, completeness, or provenance.
You are not the product
We're private by design. Our message to advertisers and data brokers is simple: get lost.
Zero AI
Search means search. We'll never prompt an AI model on your behalf, or use your data to train one.
Fast & focused
Clean, relevant results, unobstructed by ads and AI nonsense — no clutter, no noise.
Meet your new superpowers
Stack and combine views, narrow or broaden your scope, teleport across search engines, and reach your destination invisibly.
Bury the noise
Most search engines decide what you see. Suede hands you the dial — raise the signal, bury the noise, and tune every rule to the exact strength you want.
Pin Keep your must-read sources above everything — Suede even summons them from deep in the results when they're buried.
Raise Lift your higher-priority sources by exactly the degree you choose — a gentle nudge or a decisive boost.
Lower Turn the noise down as far as you like — still there, just as far out of the way as you decide.
Block Banish content farms and SEO slop for good — by whole domain, URL pattern, or keyword.
Suede makes every search more valuable and productive.
Industry-leading threat protection
Top-quality, real-time threat intelligence is integrated into every Suede search by default, because some risks are too dangerous to ignore. No matter where your research leads, we keep you a step ahead, shielded from attacks like phishing pages, malware hosts, and scam domains. Know where you're going before you click.
Yours, down to the details
Comfort is key, so Suede displays search results to your exact visual specifications. Browse the layouts in our gallery, or design your own in under a minute.

Lenses → Views
Available for every result type, with no ten-site ceiling. Stack and combine different views in the same query. Try that with a lens.
Bring your !bangs
Create your own, or pull from our collection of over 13,500 built-in sites. Includes support for legacy use cases via bang-compat.
Personalized results → Search Control
Precise per-site control, a clear account of how your rules impact each set of results, and a search depth others can't touch.
Captivity isn't a feature
Drop a uBlacklist export, a hosts file, or any other supported format — it lands as a view you control. Then export it right back out.
Your rules and views export anytime and go anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there no free version?
Because "free" search isn't free — you pay with your attention and your data. Ad-funded engines make their money profiling you and selling ads against your results; independent estimates put that take well above $20 a month per user. Suede charges a fair membership instead, so you're the customer, not the inventory: no ads, no trackers, no ranking for sale.
Do you track me? What do you log?
We don't tie your queries to your identity, we don't sell data, and we don't build advertising profiles — your membership is the entire business model. We log only what's needed to run and bill the service, not a per-user history of what you searched.
You have my payment details. How is that private?
Billing and searching are separate concerns. Your card lives with our payment processor and identifies your subscription; your searches aren't attached to it.
Is it actually better than Google?
Different, and for most members better where it counts: no ads or sponsored placements, no SEO slop you've blocked, sources you trust ranked where you put them. Decide for yourself — !g re-runs any search on Google anytime. The test we care about: members who stop feeling the need to double-check us there.
Can I make Suede my browser's default search?
Yes. Desktop browsers pick Suede up automatically (OpenSearch) or add it in two clicks; the Android app registers as your device's search engine; the iOS Safari extension redirects Safari searches to Suede. Your !bangs keep working exactly as you'd expect.
Do you put AI in my results, or train AI on my data?
No AI-written answers are injected into your results, and we don't train AI models on your data. The only machine step is one you invoke: one-tap translation of a foreign-language result.
What if I want to leave?
Cancel anytime from your account — monthly or annual, two clicks, no retention maze. Export your Search Control rules in standard formats (uBlacklist, hosts) and take them with you. Closing your account permanently deletes your data.
