See it for yourself
This is a real Purple IQ results page.
No sponsored row hogging the top, and no AI summary pasted over your results uninvited. Just real links, ranked on merit, with the ones our machine-learning reranker fought hardest for marked as an IQ pick.
A Purple IQ results page for “why is my wifi so slow”: real links from a range of sources, with the result the reranker promoted marked as an IQ pick, and no ads.
Why people switch
Search used to feel like it was on your side.
Then came the ad rows, an AI answer shoved in before you’d read a word, and the quiet profile built from everything you typed. We threw all that out and kept what you came for: real answers, fast, from sources you can trust.
Real pages, not forced answers
Plain search hands you the real pages, not an answer pasted on top, so you reach your own conclusions. Every link goes to the source itself, so you can read it, weigh it, and decide what to trust.
Private by default, not by setting
We keep a monthly search count for billing purposes, and that's it. What you look for is never tied to who you are, so there's nothing to leak, sell, or wish you hadn't typed.
The whole web, not the same five sites
Most engines herd you toward the same handful of giants. We keep real room for the smaller, sharper, stranger corners of the web, so you actually turn up something you haven't seen before.
The switch
What changes the moment you switch.
Most search engines
- Ads dressed up to look like results
- An answer shoved in before you've read a thing
- The same five mega-sites on every query
- Your searches quietly feeding an ad profile
- Heavy pages that make you wait
Purple IQ
- Just results, ranked on merit
- Real sources to weigh for yourself, no guess up front
- Diverse sources, room for the sharp little ones
- Searches that stay yours, full stop
