Directsearchapp.com is a website that is likely to be associated with the browser add-on Search Dimension, judging by the links found on Directsearchapp.com. This software is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) and one of the side effects of its installation is that it may replace your Web browser's default search engine with Directsearchapp.com or a similar page. While changes of this sort are frowned upon, it is important to note that they are not dangerous.

A quick look at Directsearchapp.com's landing page shows that this website is meant to act as a search engine that can help users navigate the Web more efficiently. The search bar is accompanied by a dropdown menu, which can be used to select your preferred search engine – Google, Bing, or Yahoo. While this might seem great, we advise you to avoid using websites that are being promoted with the help of PUPs like Search Dimension.

If your browser is regularly redirecting you to Directsearchapp.com against your will, then Search Dimension or a similar shady program might be responsible for this issue. It is recommended to fix the issue by running a security scanner capable of identifying and eradicating PUPs.
