A recent technical incident involving WebAtlasBot caused a temporary traffic spike on some websites. The issue, related to overwritten security limits, has been resolved.
We previously discussed the growing risks of relying entirely on artificial intelligence for digital scanning and content moderation, particularly in the context of proposals like Chat Control. Automated systems are fundamentally prone to false positives, and yesterday, we experienced those consequences firsthand.
Yesterday’s outage affecting one of our providers caused serious issues with the availability of search results in MevaSearch. Some users may have experienced a complete lack of results or other disruptions to the search engine.
Discover alternative search engines that prioritize your privacy, unique indexes, and data protection away from Big Tech.
Why Chat Control is digital surveillance that won't stop criminals, but will hit ordinary citizens instead. An analysis from MevaSearch.
On June 16, 2026, at 08:00 AM CET, our monitoring systems detected a deliberate, large-scale attempt to overload our infrastructure with artificial network traffic (a DoS/DDoS attack). The attack continued until 09:38 AM, when the situation was fully and permanently resolved.

MevaSearch isn't for everyone. Discover 11 honest reasons why this privacy-focused, subscription-based search engine might not be the right fit for you.
Today, we have initiated the most significant infrastructure overhaul in the entire history of the MevaSearch project. From the very beginning, our goal has been to provide a search tool that is not only ethical and privacy-focused but also modern and reliable. Today, we are taking the next giant leap in that journey.
Most of us treat web search as something free. Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo — they're all free. But are they really? In the advertising model, your data and attention are the price. There is, however, a growing niche of search engines that flip this model: instead of paying with data, you pay with money. Here are five search engines that have chosen this path.

Today we open a new chapter in the history of the Polish internet. MevaSearch officially ends its testing phase and makes its subscription model available to every user. We are breaking free from Big Tech, giving up ads, and proving that privacy is not a commodity — it is your right.

We have identified a malicious clone called MevaSearchZoozol. This site is a fake "scrapper" that illegally copies results from our engine and harvests user data. It has zero affiliation with the official WebOrbiton Team.

After months of intensive development, thousands of lines of code, and hundreds of hours of testing, we are proud to announce: MevaSearch is entering a new era. Our transformation from a free model to a Premium service is more than just a business shift—it is a commitment to delivering a tool of uncompromising quality.
