Web research with inspectable evidence.
Noema searches the live web, reads the sources it finds, identifies the most relevant evidence, and provides citations you can open and verify.
Three clear actions keep the research trail easy to follow.
Open
Read beyond a search snippet in articles, public text, documentation, and text-based PDFs.
Find
Return to a source and locate a specific phrase, claim, method, result, or limitation inside it.
Primary-source research
Research papers, not just web pages.
Give Noema a topic, paper title, arXiv link, or public PDF URL. It can move from discovery to page-level evidence without reducing the paper to a search-result snippet.
Example
“What evidence does this arXiv paper provide for its main conclusion?”
Noema can read the methodology and results, identify the most relevant passages, and answer with a citation such as [1, p. 7].
“Find where the authors discuss limitations.”
Noema searches within the same paper instead of starting over.
From link to evidence
Noema can open public HTML and text-based PDFs, preserve page references, and rank the passages that answer your question.
When you ask a follow-up, Find returns to the same source instead of restarting the search.

Private by design
Research without leaving a profile behind.
NoemaSearch is a dedicated SearxNG instance maintained for the Noema community. It combines open metasearch indexes while separating your browser and device from the services that provide results.
The same private endpoint powers live web retrieval in Noema and is available directly in any browser, free to use and without authentication.
No identity layer
NoemaSearch does not require an account, issue a tracking token, or attach a persistent identifier to a query.
No retained research trail
Search queries, visited URLs, and extracted page text are not persisted on NoemaSearch infrastructure.
Short-lived processing
Documents are processed temporarily and cached only in memory for a short period.
Search directly. Research deeply.
No account for search. Available in Noema on macOS and iOS.
