Sirch: OSINT & Advanced Search

Most people use a fraction of what search engines can do. Sirch is the advanced search query builder for OSINT, SEO and deep research that unlocks the rest.

Instead of guessing at syntax, you build advanced search queries one operator at a time — site:, filetype:, intitle:, exact "phrases", exclusions, OR groups, and more — and Explain spells out what each part does. When you're ready, launch straight into the search engine and browser of your choice.

WHO IT'S FOR
For people who search for a living — and people who search for the thrill of it. Researchers, journalists, OSINT analysts, developers, students, and every curious mind who'd rather explore ten engines than settle for one. When "close enough" isn't good enough, Sirch gets you to the exact page.

BUILD QUERIES VISUALLY
• Structured editor — every operator and term is its own editable row
• Every operator your target supports, in one picker — the complete set for each search engine and platform, not just the common ones
• Operator picker with plain-language descriptions and live examples
• Exact-phrase, exclude, OR, and grouping support
• Advanced raw-text mode when you want total control

UNDERSTAND EVERY OPERATOR
• Explain mode breaks your query down in plain language
• See what each operator does before you run it
• Operators are tuned to your target — the search engine you pick (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, and more) or a platform like Reddit, YouTube, GitHub, X, LinkedIn, Stack Overflow, or Bluesky. Switch targets and the set updates instantly

FILTER RESULTS YOUR WAY
• Fine-tune each engine's results — Sirch adds the right URL parameters for you, no settings menus
• Set your region and language to see results as they'd appear anywhere in the world
• Limit by time — past hour, day, week, month or year
• Choose your result type — web, images, news, videos, shopping, forums, books, even AI Mode — deepest on Google, plus verticals on Qwant, Startpage, and Mojeek
• Platforms get their own result-page filters as well — sort Reddit by Hot, Top, or New; filter YouTube by upload date, duration, or type; jump into GitHub code search; switch X between Top and Latest, and more

LAUNCH ANYWHERE
• 20 search engines — Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant, Mojeek, Ecosia, StartPage, and 12 more
• Open the same query in different browsers — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, Opera, DuckDuckGo, and more
• Jump straight into the native YouTube, X, and Google apps — skip the browser entirely

BUILT FOR EVERY APPLE DEVICE
• Designed for iPhone, with a layout for iPad
• Runs on Apple silicon Macs too — build and launch queries right from your desktop
• Full hardware-keyboard support on iPad and Mac, with a ⌘K command palette and ⌘1–9 engine shortcuts
• Light, dark, and automatic themes
• Choose which engines and platforms show up as your quick-launch targets

SAVE, SYNC, AND ORGANIZE
• Everything lives on your device first — save queries and keep a full search history with timestamps
• Automatic iCloud sync keeps your saved queries and history in step across every iPhone, iPad, and Mac on the same Apple ID
• No separate account to create — your iCloud handles it, privately

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No sign-up, no login, no profile
• The text of your queries goes only to the search engine you launch — never to us
• Saved queries and history stay on your devices and in your own iCloud
• Anonymous usage events and crash reports help improve the app; they never include what you searched for

FREE AND PREMIUM
• One free search launch every day (it needs a connection to verify the daily count)
• Premium unlocks unlimited searches
