About Wrenni

Wrenni is an independent metasearch, scholarly-discovery, and web-search service operated from Ohio, USA.

Wrenni brings together results from multiple search providers and Wrenni-maintained indexes so visitors can search a broader range of web pages, publications, documents, and other publicly available information from one place.

What Wrenni provides

Search availability, coverage, and result quality may vary because Wrenni relies on multiple independent sources and indexes.

Wrenni may collect search queries, IP addresses, technical logs, and analytics information as described in the Privacy Policy.

How Wrenni works

When you submit a search, Wrenni may request results from selected third-party search providers, search Wrenni-maintained indexes, or combine results from several sources.

Depending on the search engines and categories selected, search terms and limited request information may be transmitted to third-party providers. Those providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

Some results are supplied by indexes maintained by Wrenni. These indexes may contain publicly accessible URLs, titles, extracted text, metadata, and other information used to locate and present web content.

Search results and external websites

Wrenni does not own or control most websites shown in search results.

Search results may lead to external websites with their own content, security practices, terms, cookies, and privacy policies. Wrenni does not guarantee the accuracy, legality, availability, safety, or completeness of external content.

Visitors should evaluate external websites before relying on their information or submitting personal information.

Wrenni-maintained indexes

Wrenni operates independent web-search indexes intended to improve discovery of publicly accessible online content.

Removing a result from a Wrenni-maintained index does not remove the original content from its source website, other search engines, web archives, or third-party services.

URL-removal requests involving a Wrenni-maintained index may be sent to:

web @wrenni.com

Please include the exact URL, the reason for the request, and enough information to evaluate it.

Setting Wrenni as your search engine

Wrenni supports OpenSearch and may be added as a browser search engine.

Instructions vary by browser. Some browsers automatically recognize Wrenni after you visit the main search page. Others may require you to add Wrenni through the browser’s search-engine settings.

If a browser reports that Wrenni already exists, remove the older or duplicate entry before adding it again.

Service availability

Wrenni may change, suspend, restrict, or discontinue features, search sources, indexes, categories, or access methods at any time.

Search providers may experience outages, impose limits, change their services, or stop returning results. Wrenni does not guarantee uninterrupted access or that every query will return results from every available source.

Privacy

Wrenni seeks to limit unnecessary collection and use of personal information, but it is not an anonymous service.

Wrenni may record search queries, IP addresses, usage information, security records, and analytics data. Details about collection, disclosure, cookies, third-party providers, and retention periods are available in the Privacy Policy.

Visitors should avoid entering highly sensitive personal information into search queries.
