Users can choose between a proxied mode via froogle.fyi, which hides their IP from Keenable, or direct access with a free API key providing 100,000 searches per month.", "body_md": "Silly but fun project: a search engine portal in one html file. It aims to bring back that retro 2005 search experience: lighting fast list of links and that’s about it.\n\nIt’s powered by [https://keenable.ai](https://keenable.ai), a new search API. You have 2 privacy options. 1) Proxied via [https://froogle.fyi](https://froogle.fyi). Keenable sees your queries, but not your IP or any user IDs. Your traffic is mixed with everyone else’s. This may get rate limited, but zero setup. 2) Direct access: bring your own Keenable API key (free 100k searches/mo), and the browser calls the API directly. Froogle can’t see your queries, but Keenable gets a unique ID.\n\nTry it: [https://froogle.fyi/](https://froogle.fyi/)\n\nGithub: [https://github.com/scosman/froogle](https://github.com/scosman/froogle)\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49604846](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49604846)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-froogle-a-search-engine-portal-in-one-html-file", "canonical_source": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49604846", "published_at": "2026-09-08 01:52:54+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-08 02:31:33.018320+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Froogle", "Keenable", "froogle.fyi", "Hacker News"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-froogle-a-search-engine-portal-in-one-html-file", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-froogle-a-search-engine-portal-in-one-html-file.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-froogle-a-search-engine-portal-in-one-html-file.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-froogle-a-search-engine-portal-in-one-html-file.jsonld"}}
