What Happens After You Submit
  1. URL is queued
    Your submission is added to the crawl queue instantly. Duplicate submissions are automatically detected and skipped.
  2. robots.txt parsed & sitemap discovered
    We fetch robots.txt to respect Disallow rules, then probe sitemap.xml and sitemap_index.xml to seed hundreds of URLs before crawling even begins.
  3. Deep BFS crawl via Tor
    Up to 200 pages are visited in breadth-first order. Links from <a>, <frame>, <iframe> and meta-refresh redirects are all followed within the same domain.
  4. Full-text extraction & deduplication
    Up to 50,000 characters of body text are extracted per page. Pages with identical content are detected by hash and skipped automatically to avoid index bloat.
  5. Images catalogued
    Images are downloaded, indexed by filename and alt text, and made searchable in Bobby Search image results.
  6. Linked .onion sites auto-discovered
    Every external .onion link found while crawling your site is automatically queued as a new indexing job — no manual submission needed. Submitting a directory site will trigger crawls for every site it lists.
  7. Site goes live
    Once indexing is complete the site and all its pages appear in Bobby Search web and image results within minutes.
Indexing Features
Deep Crawl (up to 200 pages)
BFS crawl follows &lt;a&gt;, &lt;frame&gt;, &lt;iframe&gt; links and meta-refresh redirects, up to 200 pages per site.
Sitemap Discovery
Automatically probes sitemap.xml and sitemap_index.xml to seed the crawl with all known URLs before link-following begins.
Auto-Discovery of Linked Sites
Every external .onion link found while crawling is automatically queued as a new indexing job — submit a directory and every site it links to gets indexed too.
Full-text Index
Up to 50,000 characters of body text extracted per page — scripts and styles stripped for clean indexing.
Content Deduplication
Pages with identical body text are detected by hash and skipped, keeping the index lean and relevant.
Image Search
All images on crawled pages are downloaded and appear in Bobby Search image results.
Privacy First
Zero logging of submitter identity. Completely anonymous.
Re-crawl Support
Submit the same URL again at any time to trigger a fresh re-crawl.
Fast Queue
Typical index time under 24 hours. Sitemap-rich sites are indexed faster.

FAQ

Yes — submitting and indexing a site is completely free and always will be. We fund the project through optional banner advertising.

Most sites are indexed within 24 hours. Complex or large sites may take longer depending on queue depth and Tor circuit stability.
