Press & media
Everything a journalist, podcast host or reviewer usually needs about Mugurdy — in one page, without a form to fill in.
In one paragraph
Mugurdy is an independent web search front-end, originally a small search project from the late 2000s and revived as a minimal homepage with a single search box. Searches made on Mugurdy are powered by Niguro, which operates the underlying search engine. The site also publishes eight plain-English guides explaining how search engines crawl, index and rank the web.
