We’ve added SafeSearch to Fynd. SafeSearch helps reduce adult and explicit content from search results. When it’s turned on, Fynd focuses on keeping results more family-friendly. When it’s turned off, results are shown without that extra filtering.

This is the first release of SafeSearch, and it won’t stay the same. Language, websites, and online trends change all the time, so SafeSearch on Fynd will continue to evolve with regular updates and adjustments.

Our goal is to improve search quality without over-blocking normal content. We want SafeSearch to feel helpful, not restrictive. That balance takes time, testing, and real-world use.

Fynd is still growing, and SafeSearch will grow with it. Expect changes, improvements, and refinements as we learn more and as the web itself changes.

If something looks off or slips through, please let us know using our feedback page.

We’ve made an update to improve how languages are handled. Not every language works like English.

In English, words are usually separated by spaces, so it’s easy for a search engine to tell where one word ends and another begins. But in languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, words are often written together or follow very different rules. This can make searching harder if a search engine isn’t careful.

Before this update, searches in CJK languages could sometimes feel inconsistent. Results might still appear, but matching and highlighting didn’t always behave the way people expected. The search engine was sometimes trying to break text apart in places where it shouldn’t.

Now, Fynd treats CJK text more naturally. Instead of forcing it into English-style rules, the search system keeps the text intact and lets it be searched the way it’s written. This helps results feel more accurate and makes it easier to understand why a page matched your search.

We also improved how search terms are highlighted in result descriptions. Matches are now clearer and more consistent, even when the text structure is different from English. This makes it easier to scan results and quickly see what’s relevant.

The goal of this update is simple, searching should work the way people actually write and read, no matter what language they use. This change brings Fynd one step closer to being a search engine that works well for everyone, not just English speakers.

If you search in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, things should now feel smoother and more predictable. And as always, if something doesn’t look right, your feedback helps guide the next improvement.

We recently received feedback to add a region selector under the Fynd search bar. It’s a thoughtful idea, and one we’ve discussed internally. This post explains why Fynd currently avoids automatic regional filtering.

Many search engines quietly limit results based on where they think you are. While that can be convenient, it can also hide useful information and create regional bubbles. At Fynd, we try to avoid that by keeping search results open and unbiased.

Instead of guessing your location, Fynd is very literal and lets you narrow results by adding a country, state, city, or even a ZIP code directly to your search. For example, searching “pizza Atlanta” focuses results locally, while searches like “web hosting Texas,” “web hosting Germany,” or “tech news UK” show results from those specific regions. If you leave location out, you’ll get results from anywhere.

Regional filtering options beyond that are still in the planning stages, and we do plan to add them in the future.

Today’s live update makes Fynd search results simpler and more useful.

We improved how results from the same website are handled. Instead of crowding the page, Fynd now groups results from one site together and gives you an easy way to see more from that site if you want.

We also made domain searching more reliable using the site: parameter. This lets you search within a single website.

For example: web hosting site:datapacket.net

This shows pages about web hosting only from datapacket.net.

If you just want to see all pages from a site, you can search using only the domain name, like:

site:datapacket.net

Site searching is designed to focus on a specific domain, while still allowing closely related results when they’re helpful.

We also cleaned up messy results and made small layout fixes so navigation links like “Back” and “Next” look better and are easier to use.

These changes help keep Fynd fast, clean, and focused on what matters most: clear, useful search results.

Lately, we’ve been seeing some strange pages show up in search results. They usually live under a folder called something like /article/ and use long page names based on the title, with the words separated by dashes. They usually don’t stay online for very long. When you click one, it often redirects you straight to the same site, most recently "custommapposter.com".

What’s happening is that real websites are being used, usually without the owner knowing, to host spam pages for a short period of time. These pages aren’t meant for people to read. Their only purpose is to grab search traffic and send visitors somewhere else. Once the site owner notices the problem or the site gets cleaned up, the pages disappear.

One pattern is that many of these sites are running the LiteSpeed web server. That doesn’t automatically mean LiteSpeed itself is the issue, but it does point toward software commonly used alongside it, such as cache plugins for WordPress or other CMS platforms. The LiteSpeed Cache plugin in particular has had serious vulnerabilities and was only recently patched, which left millions of sites exposed for a window of time. When attackers find a weakness in popular plugins like this, they move fast and reuse the same exploit across many sites before owners have a chance to update.

Because these pages are created automatically, they all look very similar. The same folder names keep showing up, the titles follow the same pattern, and the redirect behavior is almost identical. From a search engine point of view, patterns like this become noticeable pretty quickly.

The web is always changing, and spam tactics change with it. These “article” pages are just another example of short-lived web spam designed to take advantage of real websites before anyone notices. If something looks off when you click a result, there’s a good chance it really is.

We’ll keep watching for patterns like this and filtering them out so real content has a better chance to be seen.
