Torch

Torch is one of the oldest and most well-known darknet search engines, often described as “one of the first” to index hidden services in the Tor network. With a minimalist, retro-style interface and a large database of .onion sites, it has long served as a basic navigation tool for both newcomers and experienced users. Unlike more modern alternatives, Torch does not filter results, offering broad access but also exposing users to potential risks. Its longevity and pioneering role have made it a symbolic part of darknet history.
