Remarksearch.com is a Web address that belongs to a fake search engine. Engines such as this one fail to garner attention from users, and that is why they often resort to underhanded tactics in their promotion. Remarksearch.com is not an exception, as infosec researchers have identified that it is being spread via a browser-hijacker application. Keep in mind that it is entirely possible for different intrusive applications and PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) to be promoting the same fake search engine.
Due to the intrusive functionality of the PUP, users will notice that their default homepage, new tab page, and browser's search engine have now all been changed to open the remarksearch.com address. In practice, this means that the promoted page will be opened each time the affected browser is launched, a new tab is started, or users initiate a search via the URL bar.
The exact behavior of remarksearch.com varies based on specific factors. As it lacks the capability to generate results on its own, it redirects the user's search attempts to other engines. One possibility is to get results directly from search.yahoo.com. However, other users may first be redirected to lisumanagerine.club before being shown results taken from bing.com.
It is important to keep in mind that fake search engines and their associated browser hijacker applications are commonly tasked with data collection as well. They may track the user's browsing activities and transmit the information to their operators continuously. These invasive PUPs could even try to extract sensitive information from the affected browsers, which could include banking or payment details.
