Pearche, also referred to as Pearche Search, is a web search engine, or more accurately a metasearch engine developed by multiple open source contributors, as well as developers from St. George. It is aimed to be an alternative search engine, mostly in the Principality of St. George, after the government there started to crack down on companies and their poor privacy respecting practices. However, Pearche is accessible from anywhere.
The main purpose of Pearche is to act as the intermediary between the user and other search engines, in order to protect their privacy. The engine itself is open source and co-managed by St. George Human Rights Watchdog.
