The SearchYA Search browser extension may be promoted to users via online advertisements, and it also may arrive via software bundles that users might end up downloading while looking for free applications to use. These software bundles may promise users that the installation of the SearchYA Search add-on is a great addition to their Web browser since it will enhance its search feature, and assist them while searching the Web. While the installation of SearchYA Search does introduce a new search engine that you can use, it is unlikely that it will provide you with better services than the ones offered by Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other favored search engines.

As soon as SearchYA Search is installed, it will replace your Web browser's default search engine with Feed.search-ya.com. Because of this change, all searches executed through your browser's address bar will be queried through Feed.search-ya.com. This change is not a harmful one, but it is very intrusive, and you may not always see credible search results due to Feed.search-ya.com's tendency to prioritize marketing content and sponsored search results.

SearchYA Search (also known as SearchYA) is detected as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by reputable computer security products, and it is recommended to complete its removal with the assistance of such a tool. You also can remove SearchYA Search manually by using your Web browser's extension manager. The removal of SearchYA Search should undo the changes that the add-on applied to your Web browser's settings automatically.
