SEARCH Act of 2026 aims to restore competition in online search and digital advertising markets by preventing exclusionary conduct by covered.

The SEARCH Act of 2026, or Securing Enforcement of Americans' Right to Competition at Home Act of 2026, targets exclusionary practices by covered platforms offering general search engines, AI search, or search ads in the United States. It prohibits practices that prevent or inhibit competitors, such as pre-installation of default search engines or self-preferencing. Covered platforms must provide qualified competitors with non-discriminatory access to search indices, ranking signals, and user-side data.
