The brief
SearchAll is a product of the business group Marketing MIX belongs to, so this case describes our own work. Many useful answers today sit outside ordinary websites: in a Telegram channel, a Reddit thread, a Facebook group for a city's community, a Bluesky post or a GitHub repository. Each lives behind its own search box. The brief was one search over all of them, with the source of every result in plain view, and with clear limits on what it reads.
What we built
One query, many sources
The code was written between 4 and 6 November 2026, according to the repository history. SearchAll is a Node.js server built on the standard library with a single search endpoint. On the server the query is normalised, every result URL is validated, duplicates are removed, each result keeps a record of its source, and requests are rate-limited. Results come from an external web index, from a small curated directory of public sites and communities, and from documented public APIs that need no key: Wikipedia, Hacker News, Bluesky post search and Crossref for research papers, with GitHub and Stack Overflow as optional sources under quota limits. Public Telegram, Facebook group and WhatsApp invitation pages are found as public web pages on those domains.
Clear limits
The rules on what SearchAll reads are written into the code. It does not read private messages, private groups or WhatsApp chats. A Telegram channel enters SearchAll's own index only after its admin posts an opt-in command in the channel, and removing the bot or posting the off command takes the channel out again. Each source states what it does not claim, and when one fails during a search the page discloses it and still shows results from the sources that answered. There are no generated answers and no paid placements.
The interface
The page opens with a search box and filter tabs: All, Web, Communities, Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Reddit, Bluesky, GitHub and Research. Sample queries run with one tap, a short list explains where the search looks, and the footer links to forms to suggest a public community or request removal. On 6 November 2026 the layout was reworked for phone screens.
Where it stands today
On 8 November 2026 SearchAll is live in English at searchall.mmix.biz. A test search for "python" on the All tab that day returned 35 results from six sources: the web index, GitHub, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, Wikipedia and Bluesky. The service is at an early stage, with the community directory and source list still growing, so this case is shorter than most.
