13+ years independent

Independent, ad-free search that surfaces the web’s long tail. For 13+ years, Million Short has stayed private and outside SEO gaming. Your membership keeps us independent—and funds new filters, controls, and Topicals (mini search engines).

  • No ads. No trackers. Not SEO-driven.
  • Shape results: boost what you love, block what you don’t.
  • Filter deeply: date, TLD, file type, language, and more.
  • Explore Topicals: use or create mini search engines for deep, topic-specific discovery.
What are Topicals?
Topicals are curated, mini search engines—built by us or by you—to explore a topic through focused sources and filters.
