What it does
Mojeek operates its own web search engine and index. Its policy says it does not track users, replaces logged IP addresses with country codes and may use aggregate search data to improve results.
Mojeek builds its own web index, offering another source of results rather than a repackaged single-engine feed. Its Focus feature lets users shape the sites included in a search.
The privacy policy says IP addresses in standard traffic logs are replaced by country codes, and those logs may be kept indefinitely. It also describes aggregate search data. Cookies are not placed by default; saving preferences is an example of an agreed use. These are specific collection and retention rules rather than an absence of operational records.
