SearchYA Search

The SearchYA Search application is yet another bogus Web browser extension that promises to enhance your browsing experience while doing the exact opposite. It is likely that you may have ended up installing the SearchYA Search add-on via a free software bundle or an advertisement delivered by a dubious website. The creators of the SearchYA Search extension claim that this application will help you get more relevant results when searching for content online. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

If you install the SearchYA Search add-on, the application will tamper with your Web browser settings without your knowledge. Needless to say, this is not acceptable behavior, and legitimate Web browser extensions would not change your settings without your explicit consent. It is a red flag if an application displays such behavior. The SearchYA Search extension would set a new default search engine in your Web browser. This means that all searches executed via your address bar will run through Feed.search-ya.com. Thankfully, the SearchYA Search Web browser extension is not linked to any unsafe activity, and you do not need to be worried about your system’s safety and your data’s security. It is likely that the results of your queries executed via the Feed.search-ya.com engine may not be organic, as this page is known to prioritize sponsored content.

The SearchYA Search Web browser extension is classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program), and it is best for users to avoid installing it on their systems. If you have already installed the SearchYA Search add-on, it is advisable to remove it.
