What is Startpage?

Startpage is a search engine; the sources read do not record who runs it. None of the pages tried for this research could be fetched, so where its results come from is not known. The pages that would document its structured data could not be fetched.

What could not be verified?

These claims about Startpage came up in the research, but no page that could be read confirms them. They are kept apart, and nothing above rests on them.

  • Startpage has no index of its own and shows results syndicated from Google (and Bing).

    Why it is open: Secondary sources only; no first-party page was read.

    How it was checked

    Source 1 https://support.startpage.com/hc/en-us/articles/4521542735892-Where-does-Startpage-get-its-search-results and source 2 https://www.startpage.com/en/how-startpage-works/: the fetch tool refuses both startpage.com hosts.

  • Operator, countries served and any crawler of its own.

    Why it is open: Nothing first-party was read; the countries value is a placeholder.

    How it was checked

    Sources 1 and 2 (both refused by the fetch tool).
