+Ahmia is open-source search engine software for Tor hidden service deep dark web sites. You can test the running search engine at ahmia.fi. For more information see our <a href="https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/ahmiafi";>blog post about Ahmia's GSoC2014 development</a>.

+
+    <p>
+Ahmia is a working search engine that indexes, searches, and catalogs content published on Tor Hidden Services. Furthermore, it is an environment to share meaningful insights, statistics, insights, and news about the Tor network itself. In this context, there is a lot of work to do.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+The Ahmia web service is written using the Django web framework. As a result, the server-side language is Python. On the client-side, most of the pages are plain HTML. There are some pages that require JavaScript, but the search itself works without client-side JavaScript.
