Search Anything

Posted: March 23, 2020

Search Anything is a dodgy browser extension, which promises to provide you with access to a new and functional search engine that is fast, reliable and rich in features. However, we assure you that using the Search Anything add-on is a bad idea due to several reasons:

  • It is not associated with a reputable company or organization, and it is possible that it may prioritize sponsored search results.
  • Its pages may often include advertisements for irrelevant content.
  • It is unlikely to be nearly as good as Bing, Google, Yahoo, or other popular search engines.

If the users try to install Search Anything, they will be prompted to allow the extension to set their search settings to Searchanything.co. This change makes it so that every search you initiate through the browser's address bar will end up taking you to Searchanything.co. While such behavior is not harmful, it may diminish the quality of your Web searching experience.

The installation of Search Anything may be offered by online advertisements or software bundles – we advise you to avoid this software as it does not offer any valuable features. Furthermore, Search Anything is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by multiple cybersecurity products, and you can rely on them to help remove this tool.
