Boogle Blockchain Search Engine Review: 2026 Status Update

Boogle was a blockchain-powered search engine that rewarded searches and advertising interactions with its BOO token. Boxmining tested the service for one week in 2019. The original search engine and reward program are no longer available, so this page is now a historical review rather than a recommendation.

Boogle status in 2026

Item	Verified status
`boogle.com`	No longer hosts the search engine. It forwards visitors to a GoDaddy domain-for-sale page.
`boogle.io`	Repurposed as a RankWatch backlink and SEO product. It is not the blockchain search engine reviewed here and does not offer the old BOO search rewards.
Search engine	No working first-party version of the 2019 Boogle search engine was found.
BOO search rewards	Unavailable. The old account, private-key and search-reward workflow should be treated as discontinued.
Project updates	The Boogle Blog on Medium says it was last published in March 2020. The project's Reddit account posted a roadmap delay in April 2020.
CoinGecko listing	The former `boogle` API identifier now returns “coin not found.” Other current tokens using BOO or Boogle names are not automatically connected to this project.
Privacy and blockchain claims	Historical project claims. We found no current service, independent privacy audit or maintained technical documentation with which to verify them in 2026.
2019 rating and search test	Preserved below as an archive of our experience at the time; not applicable to either current domain.

Safety warning: Do not enter an old Boogle private key, recovery phrase or wallet credential into either domain. Do not buy a token based only on the BOO ticker or “Boogle” name. A reused name does not prove continuity with the defunct search-rewards product.

Original 2019 Boogle review (historical archive)

The review below is kept substantially intact. Its present-tense statements, prices, products and links describe what our author observed in October 2019.

Boogle is a blockchain powered search engine that plays a cheeky tongue-in-cheek to its primary competitor, “Google”. The name Boogle is a combination of the words “Blockchain” and “Google”. At the time of this review, the search engine focused on Asian markets and the company described itself as Singapore based.

The Singapore based company, Boogle Group Limited is adding security and privacy by default to all searches. This is a direct response to Google’s failure to address privacy issues, where data breaches in the past has lead to broken consumer confidence. The search engine is also making a firm stance on net neutrality – preventing big companies from monopolizing search results. In addition, users are rewarded for using searching via the Boogle Token ($BOO).

Will Blockchain improve search results?

“Boogle seeks to create a search engine built on a decentralized platform like blockchain which is secure, network-neutral and free from monopoly by any Internet organization”

Patrick Lee, CEO of Boogle

The key selling point of Boogle is that it uses blockchain technology to improve search results and reward users on the platform. Users can sign up to the platform by generating a private key (giving complete access to their account and funds). Users are then rewarded with BOO tokens, a valuable cryptocurrency as a reward for using the service.

Reward for simply searching?

We tried out the Boogle rewards program and during our one week of usage, we were rewarded 0.82 BOO (roughtly $0.064 USD, as of 24th October 2019). Admittedly this isn’t a huge reward. We’ll observe the platform over time as the search engine matures and gains advertisers (a key part of their revenue model).

Can Boogle win over an over-crowded Space

Internet search is a trillion dollar business, with major competitors like Google, Baidu, Bing and Duck Duck Go. In recent years, Microsoft has also employed an incentive drive promotion strategy via “Bing / Microsoft Rewards” with a luke warm reception. In order to succeed in the search industry, Boogle must be able to prove that it can deliver the results that people want.

Can Boogle deliver Results?

Will you sacrifice Better results for blockchain Rewards?

Benson Chan, Author

Doing a full scientific study of search engine results is difficult, as the search behavior of each user is different. We asked our contributors to do their daily search on both Google and Boogle and tabulated the results over a week. Here are our findings:

	Boogle	Google
Relevant Material Found	84%	96%

We found that Boogle only gave a 84% successful search result over our 1 week test, whilst Google scored higher at 96%. This means Google is still king for research and search relevancy. We’ll be interested to see how this compares over time as Boogle gains more search data and user behavior.

Methodology note: This was a small, informal one-week comparison by Boxmining contributors, not a controlled or independently reproducible search-quality study. The percentages should not be generalized to other users, queries or time periods.

Verdict

Boogle Review Score: 3.8/5

We give Boogle a 3.8/5 as our final rating for the search engine platform. We like the privacy options and VPN feature, this greatly improves user privacy by removing tracking. The idea of giving a cryptocurrency to reward active users to be novel, but the amount given isn’t substantial. We hope search relevance improves over time as the platform garners more users.

2026 verdict: The 3.8/5 score records the product our author tested in 2019. With the search engine offline, the rewards unavailable and the domains sold or repurposed, Boogle cannot be rated as a current privacy-search option.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Boogle blockchain search engine still working?

No working version of the original search engine was found in August 2026. Its former boogle.com address points to a domain-sale page.

What happened to boogle.com?

The domain no longer belongs to an active search product and currently forwards to GoDaddy's domain marketplace. Do not use it to enter old account or wallet information.

Is boogle.io the same Boogle search engine?

No. The current boogle.io promotes a backlink and SEO analysis tool whose signup links go to RankWatch. It is unrelated to the BOO-for-search workflow reviewed in 2019.

Can I still earn BOO tokens by searching?

No current first-party search reward program was found. The earnings example in this review is a historical result from October 2019.

Is the Boogle BOO token still trading?

The former CoinGecko listing used by this article is no longer available, and no maintained first-party market or contract reference was found. Tokens with the same BOO ticker may represent completely different projects.

What was Boogle's BOO contract address?

We could not verify a canonical contract address from a currently maintained first-party source. Do not infer one from a token-search result or ticker match.

Was Boogle private?

The project marketed privacy, VPN and blockchain-based data controls. This review did not independently audit its code, network traffic, data retention or blockchain design, so those claims should not be treated as proven guarantees.

Was Boogle decentralized?

Boogle described itself as a decentralized search engine using a hybrid blockchain. Its search quality, website, rewards and development still depended on the operating company and associated infrastructure, which are no longer available.

Is the 3.8/5 Boogle score still valid?

Only as a record of the 2019 test. It is not a current rating because the reviewed product can no longer be used.

What are current alternatives to Boogle?

Readers looking for private search should compare active services by their published privacy policy, independent audits, data retention, jurisdiction and technical design. A token reward should not substitute for search quality or verifiable privacy protections.
