โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ahmia?+
Ahmia is a search engine for .onion services that filters out abusive content. It's the most recommended clearnet-accessible dark web search engine and is funded by the Tor Project.
Is it legal to search the dark web?+
Yes, searching the dark web is legal in most countries. The dark web itself is not illegal โ€” it hosts journalism platforms, privacy tools, and legitimate services alongside illicit content.
Why not just use Google to find .onion sites?+
Google doesn't index .onion sites, and searching for them often leads to phishing sites or scam links. Use dedicated tools like Ahmia, Torch, or verified directories like Deepr (deeprecyrsonacndoosu3udqp7ziofjddoiq6grsfizp3m3mvbiinpad.onion โ€” requires Tor Browser).
