MetaGer review
A configurable metasearch engine with anonymous proxy access and optional prepaid ad-free searches.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
MetaGer is a web search engine operated by the nonprofit association SUMA-EV. It combines results from multiple search engines with small indexes of its own, and offers web, image and news searches. Its configurable controls make it a fit for people who want to shape which engines contribute and filter results by language or region. It is available on the web, Android and as a Chrome extension.
Search settings are a notable strength: users can select or deselect participating engines, adjust SafeSearch, maintain a personal domain blacklist, and use syntax to exclude terms or URLs or search exact phrases. Results can also be opened anonymously through a proxy. This makes MetaGer more useful for privacy-minded searching and query refinement than a bare search box, though its metasearch approach means it depends partly on external engines as well as its own small indexes.
Regular searching is available without a key, while ad-free searches use prepaid tokens rather than a subscription. According to the published plans, one-time packages range from 500 tokens for €5 to 6000 tokens for €60; other listed packages are 1000 for €10, 2000 for €20, 3000 for €30 and 4000 for €40. Choose MetaGer if engine selection, filters and anonymous proxy access matter more than relying on a single search index. It is less suitable for someone seeking a standalone index or an ad-free option without prepaid purchases.
