# IntentForge by Oxiverse

> IntentForge is an AI-powered, intent-first search engine built by Oxiverse. It goes beyond keyword matching by classifying user intent (navigational, informational, technical, how-to, comparison, transactional, fresh) and expanding queries semantically before searching.

## What It Does

- **Web Search**: Multi-engine aggregated results from SearXNG, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Whoogle, Invidious, Mojeek, Startpage, Yandex, Presearch
- **News Search**: Aggregated from Bing News and Google News
- **Image Search**: Bing Images via SearXNG
- **Video Search**: YouTube/Invidious video results
- **Intent Classification**: Classifies queries into 7 intent types with confidence scores
- **Query Expansion**: Automatically expands queries with semantic variants
- **Constraint Extraction**: Identifies required (+) and excluded (-) concepts
- **Authority Detection**: Identifies top domains relevant to the query
- **Dual-path Architecture**: VPN path (fast) + Tor path (privacy) for resilient search
- **Local Index**: TF-IDF based crawler index for previously discovered pages

## Modes

- **Pro Mode** (default): Modern card-based UI with AI insight panels, tabs for Web/News/Images/Videos
- **Classic Mode**: Terminal-style UI with monospace fonts and command-line aesthetics

## API

The search API is available at `https://api.oxiverse.com/search?q=<query>` (or via the UI at `https://search.oxiverse.com`).
