Searchy.online is presented to visitors as a simple and straightforward search service that employs the same color theme as Google.com. Moreover, the search results page appears to be a near-perfect replica except for the app drawer in the top right corner and search lenses that allow users to explore results by category. Some users may think that Searchy.online may be a creation of Google Inc. that is aimed at users with a limited Internet connection. However, Searchy.online has nothing to do with Google except its blatant copy of the company's color theme. The Searchy.online site is operated and maintained by Search Engage Ltd. that is the company behind several clones of searchengage.com, which include:
- bitcro.com
- sugabit.net
- search.hr
- searchy.online
The Searchy.online portal is a clone of Searchengage.com that does not differ from the original. Also, the privacy agreement and terms of use statement provided at Searchy.online link to two PDF documents, which are hosted on searchengage.com/legal/TOS.pdf and searchengage.com/legal/privacy.pdf. Cyber security researchers have received reports that the Searchy.online is related to cases of browser hijacking. We are not surprised because the pages mentioned before are reported to rely on browser hijackers to drive Web traffic to pages managed by Search Engage Ltd. The company has a bad reputation for association with adware like MediaTab and HooplaSearch. The Searchy.online browser hijacker may have landed on your systems as a free-to-use browser add-on that was part of a free software bundle. The app linked to Searchy.online may modify your settings in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox to redirect you to Searchy.online. The Searchy.online portal is not recognized as a reliable search service provider, and you may want to avoid it. PC users that wish to remove the Searchy.online browser hijacker may be interested in installing a reputable anti-malware utility that can purge adware and browser hijackers efficiently.
