➤ How it works: We earn money through advertising, just like any other search engine. The big difference is that, instead of hoarding it all, we donate 95% of our profits to major international charities. We support charities that help to fight climate change and alleviate the suffering caused by climate change. You can choose the charities you wish to support by visiting our homepage at SearchScene.com and clicking on the charity icon in the top right hand corner of the page.

This includes images, videos, news, detailed knowledge panels and instant answers embedded in your web search results. We also offer dedicated image search, news search and video search, which allows you to play videos without even leaving our site. Our search results are provided by Bing and enhanced with our own algorithms, giving you a truly first-class search experience.

User reviews

Great cause, great scenery, good search results. Highly recommend. In my opinion it's the best and easiest way to help the environment. Comparing it to its main extension, this one sets your homepage and start page to SearchScene, but your default search is the same as before (Google for example). But it's confusing, because when I make a search here, it still shows results and add-ons from SearchScene, when I think it's supposed to not do. So yeah, that might be a bug, or I'm just not knowledgeable. Either way, it still does it's main cause quite well.
