About LurkBag

LurkBag is a lightweight 4chan search interface built for fast multi-board lookup without ads, accounts, or tracking clutter.

Searches run against live 4chan thread data. You can add boards directly in the query with inline tags like /g/ or use the board picker to build a manual search set.

How ranking works

With AI turned off, LurkBag uses deterministic board selection and ranking. With AI turned on, it can use OpenRouter-backed inference to suggest additional boards and improve ranking, then surface a visible fallback if that path is unavailable or misconfigured.

Board and NSFW controls

Boards can be chosen explicitly or inferred from the query when AI is enabled. The 18 toggle controls whether NSFW boards are allowed. When it is off, NSFW boards are excluded instead of being blended into the result set silently.

Content boundaries

All result content remains third-party material from 4chan. LurkBag does not host, curate, or moderate those threads; it only provides a search and ranking layer over publicly available board data.
