In this product release, we introduce unified settings across the Presearch platform and across your devices, as well as new theming options to better personalize the (upcoming!) new Presearch homepage’s look and feel. This is a major step to unifying the experience across all Presearch domains, migrating the new homepage from engine.presearch.org to presearch.org, and the full integration of the decentralized search engine prior to the upcoming Mainnet launch.
Having unified settings across the entire platform is a major improvement from the previous user experience. You now have the ability to specify all platform settings at an account level (across all devices) or to override them on a per-device basis. This means that when you login on any device, you can now pull in your preferred user experience (look and feel and default search options), while also preserving any per-device settings which may vary (dark mode, font and icon sizes, local search mode, etc.) .
Below is a screenshot of the new settings page and the available personalization options!
With this release you can also see an early preview of the new homepage available at https://engine.presearch.org. This page, which will soon become the new homepage on https://presearch.com, provides you with additional control over the overall look and feel of your Presearch startpage.
In addition to the background color, you can now also change the logo colors, the foreground and text colors, the search provider size and colors (including full colorized icons), and have much more control over the exact look and feel of the home page. Here is an example of a clean new look and feel made possible by combining these new capabilities.
Several other general improvements were made to the platform based upon community feedback, including updates to visited link styles on the search results page, unified navigation menu enhancements, removal of some deprecated settings, support for opening searches and search results in new tabs, and other overall user experience fine-tuning.
This is the first stage of our upcoming migration to presearch.com, which will continue rolling out over the next 2 weeks!
Why is this important to Mainnet?
With mainnet around the corner, you’re probably wondering how we prioritize things before mainnet and why this is important to accomplish before launch.
Ever since the project acquired presearch.com, we’ve been so excited to transition over to it. We could have done it immediately, but wanted to wait until Presearch transitioned to a single domain and everything was unified (rather than on engine.presearch.org and presearch.org), making it the most seamless experience we’ve had in the project’s history. We anticipate a large number of new users post-mainnet and believe that making Presearch as easy as possible to use. We will continue to optimize our ‘stickiness’ for new Presearchers that join the project in the coming weeks and months, as well as make it easier for our long term HODLers.
None of this would be possible without you, the community, and we can’t wait for everything that’s to come this month, this year, and in years to come for Presearch! Thanks for your support!
