SearchSquatch

The world's first cryptid-powered search engine. A fully animated Sasquatch reads your search results out loud — and gives you his unfiltered, hilarious opinion on every headline.

"He searches. He reads. He reacts."

The Experience

Not a Search Engine.
A Show.

Every search is a cinematic performance starring a 7-foot-tall forest creature who just discovered the internet.

Type a query. Watch the show.

Your words appear letter-by-letter on a glowing green CRT monitor — like a retro terminal straight out of 1983. The screen holds. Dramatic pause.

Then Sasquatch starts talking. In a deep, gravelly, crunchy voice, he reads every headline out loud — then drops his take. His opinion. From the perspective of a creature who's lived in the woods for 400 years and just figured out what WiFi is.

"NASA Discovers New Exoplanet in Habitable Zone." Sasquatch been saying there's other forests out there for years. Nobody listens to Sasquatch.
