User guide#
This guide is for people using Searpa, on the hosted service at searpa.eu or on any instance someone runs for you.
Searpa is a metasearch engine: you type one query and it blends results from several independent sources into a single clean page. There is nothing to install, it works in any modern browser, and it does not track you.
