Serca: AI-Powered Media Search Engine
"We find what the internet forgot"
đź§ Table of Contents
What is Serca?
Serca is an AI-assisted search engine designed to help you find media and pages that normal search can’t surface easily. It builds a database by gathering URLs and descriptions, and it supports natural-language search so you can describe what you remember instead of guessing the “perfect keywords”.
How does this service work?
We’re committed to being transparent. Serca will keep a free tier that’s useful and safe, and a paid tier with extra features and higher query limits to help cover server + database costs.
The internet has amazing content… and some content that needs stricter handling. Serca uses a flagging system to control access to sensitive content. The free tier won’t include flagged material, while paid tiers may allow access depending on policy and legality.
Important: Illegal content is not allowed. If illegal content is discovered, it will be removed and reported to the proper authorities.
Questions? Reach out via email.
Under the hood
- Multimodal AI models (image, video, and audio—coming soon) to understand different types of media.
- Web scraping + discovery to uncover hard-to-find pages and media across the web.
- Edge computing to process data closer to the source and reduce unnecessary load.
Sample Queries
Here are a few examples. (See the search page for specifics.)
> people at the beach > tv and broadcasts > animals
Pricing
While the Serca-core is open source, access to the hosted database and search API can’t be completely free. We charge small fees to support servers, storage, and indexing.
Pay-as-you-use
Every new user gets a set number of free queries per month. After that, queries become paid (pricing TBD).
What’s always free
The basic keyword searching method will remain free.
