# FUTURE

![Screenshot_20200517_192300](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7103315/82164538-bea0e600-9876-11ea-8d42-c8a1b126d8fb.png)

__FUTURE__ is a search engine that improves on traditional methods of search by keyword by instead relying on machine learning techniques to encode words as vectors, and capture their meaning and be able to return more precise matches, all while dropping user tracking as only the query is sufficient to retrieve meaningful data.
FUTURE is a completely stand alone, open-source search engine that's focused on privacy and decentralization, so that any user can also self-host their own instance to contribute to a shared index of web pages accessible through any one of them. Given the small index that it currently has, it also works as a meta-search engine, mixing its own results with others from public Searx instances, to be capable of answering any request properly. [Here is a small presentation](https://future-pitch.glitch.me/#0) that serves to show why FUTURE is different, better and how it accomplishes that.

The decentralization aspect of the search engine is a core feature as it allows anyone to expand the index and improve the service, while also increasing reliability by redundancy. Currently the main node is located at https://wearebuildingthefuture.com.

If you are planning to host your own instance, we strongly encourage you to consider using [Uberspace](https://uberspace.de/en/) as they offer an excellent service and instances for a fair price.
