Murena, the company behind Linux-powered smartphones and one of the key driving forces behind [/e/OS](https://itsfoss.com/e-os-3-0/), has introduced a new search engine in partnership with [Qwant](https://www.qwant.com/?ref=itsfoss.com), the privacy-focused search provider known for its focus on protecting user data and delivering unbiased search results.

Can it join the ranks of the [best privacy-oriented search engines](https://itsfoss.com/privacy-search-engines/)? Let’s find out!

## Murena Find: What to Expect?

Operating in “*no tracking*” mode by default, Murena Find is **meant to deliver relevant search results without monitoring users’ online activity**. It now serves as the default search engine on Murena smartphones running /e/OS 3.0, with a planned rollout on [Murena Workspace](https://murena.com/workspace/?ref=itsfoss.com) in the near future.

Of course, [Murena Find](https://murena.qwant.com/?ref=itsfoss.com) isn’t limited to Murena devices. I took it for a quick spin myself and was mostly content with the experience. I started with a basic text search of the term "*It's FOSS*", and it provided me with relevant results like our main page and the news page.

**Murena Find All and News search pages.*

Next, I searched for the term "[*Denmark replaces Microsoft*](https://itsfoss.com/denmark-set-to-replace-microsoft/)" under the *News* tab. The first result was incorrect, but the following entries were relevant, featuring articles from well-known publications like ZDNet and TechRadar. (*My own article didn’t show up, but that’s okay.*)

The *Shopping* tab works as expected, with handy filters on the left and relevant product suggestions in the center of the page. The Settings menu, accessible via the gear icon in the top-right corner, is surprisingly handy.

It includes options to change the interface language, set the search region, filter adult content, switch between light and dark modes, show or hide news on the homepage, and choose whether outgoing links open in a new tab.

**Images and Videos search on Murena Find.*

Evil Larry’s got plans… and they’re not good. 😨

Searching for images and videos is good too. I looked up pics of Evil Larry, and sure enough, there he was, staring right into my soul. **The image viewing interface is familiar**, with options to visit the source website, share the image, view it fullscreen, or report it to Qwant for removal.

For videos, I searched for the 2025 Honda CBR650R, and I got relevant results, although they were all from YouTube. I then tried "*Arch Linux"*, and the results were similar. It would be nice if Murena or Qwant could include [PeerTube](https://itsfoss.com/peertube-mobile-app-crowdfunding/) results in the mix.

**Murena Find vs. Google on uBlock Origin.*

To see **how it stacks up against Google in terms of trackers**, I used [uBlock Origin](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock?ref=itsfoss.com) on Firefox to compare the number of trackers detected on each site. Murena Find had 9 trackers blocked, while Google had 30, with the count steadily increasing.

I reran the test and noticed that as I performed more searches, **the number of trackers blocked on Murena Find steadily increased**, while Google's tracker count remained relatively constant. This might be due to Murena Find loading additional third-party content during searches, though I'm not certain.

During the launch, [Gaël Duval](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gaelduvalprofile/?ref=itsfoss.com), CEO of Murena, had a few words to add:

> We created Murena Find to give users a truly private and ethical alternative for web search with better results. By joining forces with Qwant, we’re combining advanced search capabilities with a firm commitment to data protection.
