Mojeek

Mojeek Limited is registered in England and Wales under company number 06918197, incorporated on 28 May 2009, and operates from the Sussex Innovation Centre at the University of Sussex in Brighton. Its terms name the company directly and are governed by English law with exclusive jurisdiction in the courts of England and Wales; no United States or Delaware entity appears anywhere in its terms or privacy policy.

The company is controlled by one person with significant control, Marc Smith, a British natural person holding more than half the voting rights, with no corporate shareholder above him. It has filed accounts every year since incorporation and reported six employees in each of the last five years. Those accounts are small-entity and filleted, so no profit-and-loss statement is published and revenue is not disclosed; what they do show is a company funded by regular share issues — roughly £391,000 of new share premium in the year to May 2025 — against a loss that has narrowed three years running, from £635,000 to £399,000.

Mojeek’s distinguishing claim is technical rather than corporate. It has crawled the web with its own robot since 2004 and reached an index of nine billion pages in 2025, which makes it one of very few search engines anywhere, and the only one in Europe, that returns results from an index it built itself rather than reselling Google’s or Microsoft’s. It states that it does not track users, log IP addresses or outsource development, and earns revenue from contextual advertising and a paid search API rather than from the people searching.
