# Background

In today’s digital landscape, the majority of search engines operate on **centralized infrastructures**, which presents several key challenges:

* **Data Manipulation**: Centralized systems are susceptible to data tampering, affecting the reliability and accuracy of information.
* **Censorship**: The centralized nature of traditional search engines can lead to restricted access, filtering content based on regulations or internal policies.
* **Privacy Violations**: Centralized databases collect and store vast amounts of personal information, creating privacy risks for users.
