What is searx.space?
searx.space is a website that was analyzed by ScamSandbox on September 29, 2026. Based on our automated analysis across 22 security sources, the domain shows no significant threat indicators and is considered safe to visit.
The domain was registered approximately 3312 days ago through TUCOWS.COM, CO. and the registrant is located in KN. The domain's age suggests it has been operational for some time, which is a positive trust signal. The owner's registration details are hidden behind a WHOIS privacy service, which prevents public identification of who operates the site.
ScamSandbox cross-referenced searx.space against the VirusTotal database, which aggregates results from multiple security vendors. No security vendor in the VirusTotal database has flagged this domain as malicious or suspicious, which is a positive trust indicator.
The site uses a valid SSL/TLS certificate issued by Let's Encrypt . An SSL certificate encrypts data between the visitor and the server, but it does not guarantee the site is legitimate — scammers routinely obtain free SSL certificates for fraudulent sites.
searx.space is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH at IP address 195.201.99.166 . The server uses shared hosting, meaning multiple websites share the same IP address — a configuration common among both budget legitimate sites and disposable scam domains. Our SSL certificate analysis found 164 other domains sharing the same SSL certificate infrastructure, which suggests a large hosting environment or potentially coordinated domain activity.
The overall risk score assigned to searx.space by ScamSandbox is 10/100 (where 100 is the highest risk). This score is calculated by weighing signals from blacklist detections, domain age, WHOIS data, SSL certificate validity, HTTP security headers, content analysis, and community reports.
