Not sure if they promptly rebranded, but the search is called Torch actually. Here's a screen of an example search [1]. Note the query time - it's quite slow.

Quick guide to access Torch on the Tor network:

1. Install Tor Browser (customized Firefox) https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

2. Extract and run "Start Tor Browser"

3. Go to Torch at http://xmh57jrzrnw6insl.onion



Torch is an entirely different search engine at a different domain; I run TorSearch and built it from scratch partially because of how terrible my experience using Torch was.
