What is MevaSearch.com?
MevaSearch is a Polish search engine that puts user privacy first. Unlike market giants, this project is based on a simple premise: your data is your right, not a commodity. MevaSearch does not track your queries, build a psychographic profile, or sell your attention to advertisers. It is a tool funded exclusively by subscriptions, which allows it to maintain total objectivity in its results and remain free of annoying ads. It is a place where you are the customer, not the product.
Origins
It all began in late 2024 with an ambitious, almost rebellious idea by Igor Oprządek. The primary goal was to create a completely independent web index. However, after long and grueling attempts to wrestle with the sheer enormity of the data, the project had to evolve. It was during this pioneering period that the visual foundation of MevaSearch was born, the team chose the Space Grotesk font, which to this day defines the search engine’s modern and raw character. Although the independent index eventually had to give way to ready-made solutions at that time, the determination to create something proprietary remained in the project’s DNA under the wings of its publisher at the time, Ixavence.
The Google GSE Era
In early 2025, MevaSearch entered its public testing phase, utilizing Google’s Programmable Search Engine (GSE) technology. However, unlike other small search engines that are merely carbon copies of the giant's results, MevaSearch followed its own path from the very beginning. Despite being an overlay on GSE, the project actively blocked addresses used for tracking and user profiling, presenting results in a proprietary, unique style. While the competition copied standard layouts, MevaSearch built its own visual identity and a technological protective barrier for privacy, culminating in the release of the msX 1 version in May 2025.
The GSE Crisis and a Year of Massive Changes
January 2026 brought a massive upheaval: Google announced the end of its GSE service. For the Ixavence team, this was a clear signal that fundamental changes were inevitable. In March, a historic decision was made: Ixavence would conclude its work on MevaSearch, and WebOrbiton would take over the project. Although the player seemed "new," the person behind it remained the same: Igor Oprządek. On March 30, 2026, WebOrbiton officially took the helm, decoupling the project from Ixavence's structures and launching intensive work on a new infrastructure—one designed to be far more demanding and sovereign than a simple Google API.
The Great Decoupling and the Return to Roots
On April 15, 2026, MevaSearch finally bid farewell to the Google Search API, with the Brave Search API becoming its primary data source. The project briefly disappeared from the web to work in silence on the system’s new heart. Four days later, on April 19, the story came full circle. While Ixavence officially ceased to exist, MevaSearch simultaneously fulfilled Oprządek’s 2024 dream. The proprietary WebAtlas index was launched, made publicly available at webatlas.mevasearch.com. At 5:59 PM, a symbolic milestone occurred: the WebAtlasBot indexed its first page outside of test domains—PriviMetrics.com. From that moment on, MevaSearch results are no longer just sourced from the Brave API, but are enriched by its own independent discoveries.
Short Answers
What was msX searchBase?
msX searchBase was MevaSearch’s proprietary collection of search results that were integrated into the main engine; however, all entries were added manually. Beyond that, msX searchBase served as a remnant of the first canceled MevaSearch index.
What happened to Ixavence?
Ixavence was a Polish collective that operated without any revenue, sustained entirely by the personal funds of its members. Ultimately, it became clear that for a service to truly evolve, passion and dreams alone are not enough to cover the growing demands of the digital world.
