Tailsearch.com

Posted: August 14, 2020

Tailsearch.com is a simple search engine that is being promoted by a browser add-on called 'Tail Search.' The Tail Search extension appears to be hosted on the official Google Chrome Store only, but it is possible that versions for other Web browsers might be available too. Once the 'Tail Search' add-on is installed, it will offer to 'enhance' the users' search experience by modifying their search settings. However, the changes that the add-on brings are not very helpful – it will set Tailsearch.com as the browser's default search aggregator.

Having your searches redirected to Tailsearch.com is not a major issue, but you should not expect this website to work as reliably as popular search solutions like Google and Bing. You also should know that 'Tail Search' is considered to be a browser hijacker and a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and its installation is not recommended.

If your online searches are regularly redirected to Tailsearch.com, you will likely be dealing with the issues caused by the software described above. You can resolve the pending issue by using a suitable security scanner to eliminate this PUP.
