The Searchfindit.com site is presented to users as a search aggregator that lacks contact information, a Privacy Policy, a Terms of Use Agreement, ads and any identifiable logo. The Searchfindit.com site is reported in cases of browser hijacking where users found that Searchfindit.com became their default new tab page, start page, and default search provider after installing a free software package. The Searchfindit.com browser hijacker may be promoted to users as a safe browser add-on, which can enhance your Internet experience. However, you should not trust Searchfindit.com and let it handle your online searches because it is not a real online search engine. Searchfindit.com is a redirect-gateway to Nova.rambler.ru and content on Rambler.ru. The creator of the Searchfindit.com browser hijacker is believed to be responsible for the Newtab.club and the Search.mysearch24.com browser hijackers due to similarities in the program code and identical behavior. Additionally, there are several clones of Searchfindit.com that were published the same month as Searchfindit.com, which include:

  • Findthatsearch.com
  • Findyourtermsearch.com
  • Search.quicknetsearch.com
  • Globallysearch.com
  • Netfindersearch.com

The clones are hosted on the 35.162.164.74 IP address and feature the same barren design. Web surfers that input keywords on Searchfindit.com and its clones may be rerouted to hxxps://nova.rambler.ru/search?query=[keyword]. The fake search engines listed above appear to be configured to redirect users via a URL that looks like this: hxxp://[RANDOM NAME].com/?q=[KEYWORD]&s=Search&src=blankhp&srcid=&origin=hp. You should note that Searchfindit.com can be tailored to redirect users to phishing pages. The site may lack ads at the time of research, but its creator is unlikely to miss the opportunity to host commercials and monetize the distribution of the Searchfindit.com browser hijacker. It is recommended that that PC users remove the files associated with Searchfindit.com to minimize the risk of exposure to cyber threats and phishing portals.
