Independent search, zero tracking.

About SolvedSeek

SolvedSeek is an independent search engine for Shopify stores. Instead of indexing the whole web, we build a focused directory of real Shopify storefronts — each listed by its own brand domain — so you can discover shops, not noise. No tracking, no paid placement.

How we source our data

We're open about where our index comes from. It's built in three stages:

  1. Discover — from Common Crawl. We read Common Crawl, the free public archive of the web, and pick out Shopify storefronts by their technical fingerprints (Shopify's own response headers and CDN assets). At this stage we're reading a public dataset — not crawling live sites — so we find stores across the open web without putting load on anyone's servers.
  2. Index — real homepages only. For each store we record its real brand-domain homepage (e.g. brand.com) — never the technical *.myshopify.com address — together with its title and description. One clean entry per shop.
  3. Verify — our own crawl. We then crawl those homepages ourselves to confirm each store is live and to keep its details fresh. Our crawler (SolvedSeekBot/1.0) identifies itself in every request and respects robots.txt, meta robots tags, X-Robots-Tag headers, canonical URLs, and crawl delays.

Built in the open

The index is actively growing as we work through the Common Crawl archive, so you'll see the catalogue of stores expand over the coming weeks. Search works on whatever is indexed so far, across all languages.

Search & ranking

Results are ranked by a transparent blend that adds up to 100%: how well a store matches your search — keyword relevance (50%) and semantic meaning (30%) — plus light boosts for domain authority (Ahrefs Domain Rating, 15%) and listing completeness (5%). No penalties, and ranking can’t be bought. Semantic matching uses a local model on our own servers. Full weights are in the ranking docs.

Privacy

We do not track you. No cookies, no fingerprinting, no IP logging, no ad profiles. Your query goes in, results come out. That is it. Read our full privacy policy.
