Most big search engines need thousands of servers, data centers all over the world, and even special equipment placed inside local internet companies just to stay fast. That’s a lot of hardware, a lot of power, and a lot of cost.

Fynd doesn’t need any of that.

Fynd is built to be simple and efficient. It can crawl the web and show millions of search results every month using less than a handful of servers. No massive data centers. No special hardware in every country. Just smart design.

Other search engines rely on caching, saving results ahead of time so they can be shown quickly. Fynd doesn’t need caching. It’s already fast. Every search goes straight to a fresh, real-time index that’s always updating in the background.

Even though Fynd doesn’t have servers all over the world, it still feels fast everywhere. That’s because it uses existing content delivery networks (CDNs), the same kind of systems that already speed up images, videos, and websites across the internet. Fynd plugs into that, instead of building its own network from scratch.

The result is a search engine that runs lean, loads fast, and doesn’t depend on massive infrastructure to keep up.

You might have heard the term PageRank when talking about how search engines work. It was an idea created by Google a long time ago to help decide which websites show up first when you search for something.

PageRank works by looking at how many other websites link to a page. If lots of sites link to it, that page is seen as more important. It’s kind of like being popular in school, if a lot of people talk about you, others think you must be worth listening to.

But just like in school, being popular doesn’t always mean you have the best answers. That’s why Fynd does things differently.

Fynd doesn’t use PageRank or backlinks to rank websites. Instead, we look at what’s actually on the page. We care more about how useful, clear, and relevant the content is, not how many other sites link to it.

When search engines rely on backlinks, big companies usually win. They have more money and resources to get other sites to link to them. That makes it harder for smaller or independent sites to be seen, even if they have better information. It creates a bubble where the same corporate websites always show up first.

At Fynd, we don’t think that’s fair. We believe good content should be easy to find, no matter who wrote it. That’s why our search results are based on the quality of the content, not how famous or well-connected the website is.

Short answer: No.

We index and rank websites based on the quality and relevance of their content, not on what kind of web server is running in the background. Whether your site is powered by Apache, IIS, NGINX, or some lesser-known setup you’ve compiled yourself in a basement with a pot of coffee, we don’t factor it into our ranking decisions.

Just like with your site’s IP address, web server software is simply a delivery mechanism. It’s the postman, not the letter. And we’re interested in what’s inside that letter.

Some search engines or SEO “gurus” might claim that your choice of web server can affect performance scores, and that performance can influence rankings. At Fynd, page speed is not part of any ranking formula. A fast, reliable site is always better for visitors, but we won’t rank you higher or lower based on how fast it loads or which server you use.

Our crawling system works the same way with all major (and even obscure) web servers. As long as your server speaks standard HTTP(S) and doesn’t block our crawler, Fynd treats it equally. No favoritism. No bias. No “secret preference” for a particular software vendor.

At the end of the day, visitors care about your content, and so do we. Your choice of web server should be based on your needs, your budget, and your technical comfort level, not because you think it’ll give you an SEO edge.

Bottom line: If it can serve your pages to the internet, we’ll find them, index them, and rank them purely on merit.

Not every website wants to be found. That might sound strange coming from a search engine team, but it’s true.

Some pages just aren’t meant to be indexed, login forms, admin dashboards, test pages, random junk that isn’t ready for prime time. There’s a simple way websites let crawlers know this:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

If you’ve never seen that before, it’s basically a polite “no trespassing” sign for search engines, and our crawlers listen. If our crawler sees that noindex tag, it stops immediately. The page is skipped and won’t show up in Fynd results at all.

It’s all part of making Fynd a better, more respectful search engine. One that sees the open web, but knows when to keep out.

We’re excited to announce a small but powerful update to the Fynd search experience, favicons are now included alongside search results!

You’ll now see each website’s favicon (also known as a site icon) next to the result title. This tiny image might not seem like much, but it goes a long way in helping you quickly recognize your favorite sites at a glance.

Whether it’s the red play button for YouTube, the blue "f" of Facebook, or the familiar icon of your favorite blog, these visual cues make it easier to spot trusted sources, browse confidently, and enjoy a cleaner, more polished results page.
