# 360 Search: Fast, Private Web Search With No Tracking

> 360 Search gives you fast, private web search results with no ad profiles, no data selling, and no sponsored bias — all in one clean interface.

Every time you search on Google, Bing, or even DuckDuckGo, your query is logged, tied to a profile, and used to sell ads. 360 Search works differently: your searches are never stored, never sold, and never used to build a profile about you. Even DuckDuckGo has a deal with Microsoft that quietly passes data along — 360 has no such arrangement. You get clean, aggregated results from multiple underlying sources without any of those sources knowing it was you who asked.

## How search works

Type your query into the search bar on [360-search.com](https://360-search.com), then press **Enter** or click the **Search** button. That's it. Results load instantly and come from multiple aggregated sources so you get broad, unbiased coverage — not a single engine's curated view.

<Note>
  The search bar **is** the homepage. There's no clutter, no promoted stories, and no personalized recommendations pushed at you before you even type. Just a clean interface ready for your next query.
</Note>

## Safe Search

Safe Search is **on by default** and set to **Strict**, which filters explicit content from your results automatically. You can find the Safe Search control directly on the search results page.

## What you get in results

360 Search aggregates results across multiple sources without identifying you to any of them. What you'll never see in your results:

* Sponsored or paid-placement results mixed into organic rankings
* Tracking pixels that report back to advertisers
* Results biased toward an engine's own products or services
* A profile being built from your search history

## Make 360 your default search engine

The most effective way to keep your searches private is to make 360 your everyday search engine. Here are two ways to do that:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set as browser homepage">
    Go to your browser's settings and set `https://360-search.com` as your homepage and new-tab page. Every new tab opens straight to the 360 search bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the desktop app">
    Download the 360 desktop app for Windows or Linux from the [Releases page](https://github.com/360-By-360Digital/360/releases). The app gives you a fully private, standalone search experience outside of any browser entirely.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Using the desktop app is the most private option. Searching inside another browser — even a privacy-focused one — still exposes your activity to that browser. The 360 app removes that middleman entirely.
