SearchVoyage.com Removal Guide

Do you know what SearchVoyage.com is?

Users usually encounter SearchVoyage.com (search.searchvoyage.com) when they install the extension called Search Voyage from its official website or the Chrome Web Store. People who install this piece of software willingly usually do that because the extension is quite appealing, for example, it is said that users will be able to customize their New Tab pages after installing it. Unfortunately, what they do not know when they install this software is that it is going to change the settings of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. Of course, some users install the Search Voyage extension unwillingly, so they do not know anything about it, and they are not even asked whether they agree with the changes or not. You should definitely delete the Search Voyage extension if you do not like something about it or simply want to make sure that nothing bad happens to your system.

Let us talk about the changes the Search Voyage extension applies. First of all, we are sure that you will notice that your default search engine, homepage, and New Tab page settings have been replaced by SearchVoyage.com, which is the search engine promoted by the extension. It does not look bad at all, and it even shows the weather forecast and current data and time. Even though it looks quite good, the truth is that it cannot be fully trusted. Yes, this search engine will redirect searches to search.yahoo.com; however, these search results will be modified, i.e. there will be sponsored links inserted among the legitimate search results. Of course, it does not mean that Yahoo! is a bad search provider; the owners of the Search Voyage extension simply modify it for their own purposes. It is better not to use search engines that display the modified search results because they might promote third-party websites and you might end up on one of them rather willingly. You can say that you will not click on bad search results, but you should know that it is not enough to do that because it is extremely hard to recognize them. Last but not least, we do not suggest trusting this search engine fully also because it is known that this search provider will gather all kinds of details every day.SearchVoyage.com Removal GuideSearchVoyage.com screenshot
