Why Huria Search?
Huria Search was created in reaction to the current trend in search results that favor large corporate entities and sensational content over independent websites and more serious content.
While this trend effects all independent websites, the impact on the global Black community (GBC) of websites is more severe. As a result, some of the best content generated for and by the GBC is buried too deep in traditional search results to be found.
Sensational and celebrity driven content typically produced by the larger corporate entities is crowding out independent voices. This degrades the web experience reducing by the variety and quality of content we can find.
Huria Search's goal is to improve the internet experience for people looking for content created by the GBC and to help support the efforts of those websites.
Websites thrive when they can be found. Higher visibility allows websites to earn more revenue, attract better writers, garner more visitors who interact with the website and provide valuable promotion. (read more about the genesis of Huria Search)
