// SERVICE FILE · SVC-02 · SEARCH ENGINE DELISTING

We delist pirated links from every search engine — not just Google.

Most takedown agencies file with Google and call the job done. That leaves Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and the whole meta-search layer still pointing paying customers at the pirated copy. We file across every engine that indexes your stolen work — by name, in the language each engine requires — until the listings drop.

The pirate moves one tab to the left.

When a takedown agency files a DMCA notice with Google and nothing else, the leak page does not lose its audience — it just loses one search entry point. The buyer looking for a free copy of your course, your software, your brand's product photography, or your subscription content simply opens a different search bar. They try Bing. They try DuckDuckGo. They try Yandex. Each of those engines still lists the pirated page, still ranks it, still routes the click. The leak page keeps earning impressions from the engines Google's DMCA database doesn't touch. The pirate doesn't have to do anything. The user moves themselves.

02 / 04

Yandex is where a lot of the traffic actually lives.

Yandex is the default search engine across Russian-speaking markets and a large share of Central Asia — and those markets are where an enormous slice of course leaks, cracked software, and reselling operations are hosted. Yandex accepts DMCA and copyright-removal complaints, but the process is poorly documented in English, the response window is slower, and the filings need to be formatted the way Yandex's legal team expects. Most agencies skip Yandex entirely because their automation tooling doesn't speak it. Result: a pirate page can be de-listed from Google on day two and still pull Yandex traffic for years.

03 / 04

DuckDuckGo, Brave, and the meta-engine layer.

The privacy-first engines — DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Startpage, Ecosia — are growing at a rate most takedown agencies haven't updated their playbook for. Some of them pull results from Bing's index, which means a Bing delisting flows through automatically. Some run their own crawlers and have their own complaint processes. DuckDuckGo has a specific report form; Brave Search has another. We file across the meta-engine layer directly, so the listing drops regardless of which upstream index the engine pulls from.

04 / 04

Multi-engine delisting isn't extra — it's the whole job.

Search-engine delisting is the single highest-leverage step in anti-piracy enforcement. Even when the pirated page itself stays live (offshore host, uncooperative registrar, private tracker), removing it from search results cuts off the organic traffic that makes the operation profitable. A leak page with no search visibility is a leak page the pirate will eventually abandon. A leak page that ranks on three of the five engines you never filed with is a leak page still paying its rent. That's why multi-engine coverage is non-optional — and why we built this service to name every engine we file with, not wave at a generic "global search removal."

§ 03 · Engine coverage

Every engine we file with, by name.

No "global delisting" hand-waving. Named engines, grouped by tier, with the specific delisting channels we file through.

01

The baseline — Google properties

Google Search, Google Images, and the long tail of Google's indexed surfaces. Filed through Google's DMCA dashboard with complete evidence packets.

02

Microsoft's index — Bing and downstream

Bing Search, Bing Images, and the engines that resell Bing's index (Yahoo, AOL, older privacy engines). One filing, broad downstream effect.

03

Yandex — the engine most agencies skip

The default engine in Russian-speaking markets. We file in the format Yandex's copyright team actually responds to, with Russian-language supporting notes where required.

DuckDuckGo & the privacy engines

Engines growing fastest among privacy-conscious downloaders. Filed through each engine's own complaint channel even when they resell an upstream index.

Regional & vertical engines

Best-effort filings on engines where your market audience actually searches. Not every engine has a DMCA process; we tell you up-front which are in-scope.

Image & video verticals

Image and video search results often survive a web delisting because they have separate indexes. We file against them explicitly.

§ 04 · Inside a delisting

What actually happens when we file across every engine.

The real timing log for a multi-engine delisting case — engine by engine, not a marketing flowchart.

  1. T + 00:00

    Intake & target URL list

    You submit the infringing URLs (or we find them) and confirm rights. Our team builds the master target list and classifies each URL by which engines currently index it. Many URLs rank on four or five engines simultaneously — each one becomes its own filing target.

  2. T + 00:30

    Per-engine evidence packets

    Each engine wants the evidence in a different shape. Google wants URL-level specificity; Bing wants a slightly different claim structure; Yandex wants the claim formatted the way its legal team reads it, sometimes in Russian. Our filing operators build each packet to the engine's actual spec — not a cross-posted template.

  3. T + 01:30

    Filings dispatched in parallel

    Google, Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Brave Search, Ecosia, Startpage — all filed the same day, not staged over a week. Parallel dispatch is the only way to beat the re-upload-and-re-rank loop pirates use to stay one step ahead of a sequential filer.

  4. T + 06:00

    First confirmations — Google & Bing

    Google's DMCA team is the fastest, usually returning confirmation inside 6–12 hours for clean filings. Bing follows close behind. Yahoo and Ecosia inherit from those indexes and often update within the same window.

  5. T + 24:00

    Yandex & DuckDuckGo land

    Yandex's process is slower than Google's — typically 12–48 hours to first response, longer for contested claims. DuckDuckGo files its own complaint response; we track both until the listing actually disappears from live results, not just until the ticket closes.

  6. T + 48:00

    Coverage sweep & escalation

    We re-run the same queries against every engine to confirm the listing is gone from live results. Any engine still surfacing the URL triggers a follow-up filing with additional documentation. If we miss the 48-hour in-scope mark, your next month is free.

  7. Ongoing

    Re-scan & re-file for moved URLs

    When a pirate moves the content to a new URL (same host, different path or mirror subdomain), we catch it on the next scan and file a fresh notice against the new URL across every engine. You are never paying us to re-file the same takedown twice.

§ 05 · What's included

The full multi-engine delisting toolkit.

One plan, one price, every engine that indexes the leak.

Google ecosystem delisting

Google Search, Images, Video, News, Shopping, and Cache — filed through Google's own DMCA dashboard with full evidence packets. The baseline every other engine builds off.

Bing + downstream engines

One Bing filing flows through to Yahoo, AOL, Ecosia, and every smaller engine that resells the Bing index. We also file DuckDuckGo's own complaint channel in parallel so the listing drops even where the upstream index lags.

Yandex filings — in the right format

Most agencies skip Yandex because its filing process isn't in English. We submit Yandex's copyright-removal requests in the format Yandex's team actually accepts — Russian-language supporting notes where required — and track each filing until the listing drops.

Privacy & meta-engine coverage

DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Startpage, Mojeek, Kagi — every privacy-first engine with a complaint channel, filed directly even when the engine resells an upstream index.

Image & video vertical delisting

Image and video results have their own indexes and survive a web-only delisting. We file explicitly against Google Images, Bing Visual Search, and Yandex Images (the largest image-piracy vector of any engine).

Continuous re-scan & re-file

When a pirate moves the content to a new URL or mirror, we catch it on the next scan and re-file across every engine. No per-filing surcharge, no monthly re-submission limits, no "we only file once" fine print.

§ 06 · Why rights holders pick us

Three things every other agency quietly skips.

POINT 01 / 03

We file with engines by name, not by hand-wave.

Most anti-piracy services list "search-engine delisting" as a feature and leave you to guess which engines that actually means. In practice it's usually Google, sometimes Bing, and nothing else. We name every engine in the coverage matrix above — including Yandex and the privacy layer most agencies skip — and our case logs show which engines confirmed which takedowns. If we say we file with Yandex, we file with Yandex. Not "we tried once and it didn't respond."

On a typical multi-engine delisting case we file with 8+ engines in parallel, not the 1–2 most automation tools touch.
POINT 02 / 03

Human filing operators, per-engine formatting.

Each engine wants the notice in a different shape. Google's DMCA dashboard has one structure; Bing uses a different one; Yandex's legal team reads filings formatted differently still; DuckDuckGo's complaint form has its own quirks. Templated cross-posting fails at every one of these checkpoints — the notice gets bounced as malformed or ignored as spam. Our filing operators build each packet to the specific engine's spec, in the language the engine accepts, before the filing goes out.

Every Yandex, Bing, and DDG filing on this service is drafted and reviewed by a human operator before dispatch.
POINT 03 / 03

Full-engine coverage is included — not an enterprise upcharge.

Most premium anti-piracy agencies bundle Google delisting into their base plan and put Yandex, DuckDuckGo, and multi-engine coverage behind an enterprise tier that starts in four figures per month. We believe multi-engine coverage is the whole point of search-engine delisting, not a premium extra. Every plan includes the full engine list by default — because a filing that only catches Google is a filing that only does half the work.

Multi-engine delisting is included on every plan from $89/mo. No contracts, no tier upcharge.

§ 07 · Comparison

Why most agencies file with one engine and call it done.

Search-engine delisting only works if it covers every engine the pirate's audience actually uses. Here's what depth-of-coverage actually looks like.

§ 09 · Field notes

What rights holders should understand going in.

How multi-engine delisting actually plays out in the real world — straight from our case files.

Field note 01 / 04

Engines retain final judgment.

Every engine — Google, Bing, Yandex — runs its own internal review on every notice. Most major engines act on clean, properly-formatted notices with documented evidence. But the engine decides whether to delist; we file the notice, follow up, and document the response.

How we handle it: We file in the format each engine's legal team expects, with the evidence each one requires, and follow up on every notice until we get a decision. The variable we control is whether the notice is correctly filed; the variable the engine controls is whether they act.

Field note 02 / 04

Yandex requires Russian-language compliance.

Most takedown agencies skip Yandex because their automation doesn't speak the format. Yandex's compliance team operates under different legal frameworks and expects notices submitted in the format their legal team can process — not a translated English template.

How we handle it: We file Yandex notices in the compliance format their team expects. This is one of the two engines (Yandex + DuckDuckGo) where we have meaningful coverage advantage versus a typical agency.

Field note 03 / 04

Re-indexing happens constantly.

Search engines re-crawl the web continuously. A delisted page can reappear if the pirate changes the URL, moves to a new domain, or re-uploads the same content under a different path. A one-time delisting is a moment-in-time win, not a durable fix.

How we handle it: Continuous monitoring detects new URLs pointing to pirated content and triggers fresh delisting requests automatically. The monitoring is what makes delisting durable, not the initial filing.

Field note 04 / 04

Some engines pull from upstream indexes.

DuckDuckGo, for example, draws results from Bing's index. A successful Bing delisting flows through to DuckDuckGo automatically. Brave Search runs its own crawler. Ecosia uses Bing's index plus its own. Each engine's relationship to upstream indexes affects how filings propagate.

How we handle it: We map the upstream relationships and file efficiently — meaning we don't double-file when the engine pulls from upstream, but we do file directly when the engine runs its own crawler. This avoids wasting compliance review time on engines that already have the delisting in their pipeline.
