The Thesearchweb.net site claims to offer a 'Sleek, intuitive, and powerful search engine for everyone.' Web surfers that wish to explore what Thesearchweb.net has to offer may be disappointed because it is connected to a browser hijacker that redirects users to Thesearchweb.net forcibly. Also, the site has a clone on Urmarel.ro along with a few others, and it is apparent that its owners profit from Internet traffic directed to Thesearchweb.net. There is nothing wrong to claim advertising revenue and support a service, but it is not considered as an ethical practice to welcome users to be infected with a browser hijacker.

Thesearchweb.net comes with filters for text documents, presentations, and spreadsheets that may allow you to download documents from the Internet. However, the image search on Thesearchweb.net cannot be compared to the array of tools in the same segment on Google and Yahoo. You can search for colored and black and white images on Thesearchweb.net, as well as define the desired shapes. There are options to customize the search to include size and a general type of picture. The video search on Thesearchweb.net lacks options such as time, type of video, and duration that you would expect from Google and Bing. You may find filters like aspect and resolution on Thesearchweb.net, but they offer limited choice. Computer security analysts add that Thesearchweb.net may include promotional materials from Qualityautoelectronics.com, which is not a reputable online shop and price comparison service. Moreover, Thesearchweb.net is not partnering with giants like Google, Baidu, and Microsoft to provide users with improved protection against phishing sites. The search results shown on Thesearchweb.net may include unsafe links to compromised pages. Computer security investigators warn that the browser hijacker related to Thesearchweb.net may alter your Internet settings and reroute users to phishing domains.
