Search Engine Maintains Privacy

In the wake of AOL's shocking release of search data and the non-stop efforts of government to force the collection and turnover of such information, is there a search engine that doesn't collect such data? Yes. Ixquick.com

"Ixquick's Meta Search feature enables the user to simultaneously search 11 of the best search engines. However, Ixquick does not share the user's personal data with these individual search engines in any circumstances. In addition, as of this week, Ixquick will delete the users' IP addresses and 'unique user IDs' from its own 'Log Files'.

'Therefore, any user can use Ixquick.com to search in a combination of the best search engines secure in the knowledge that they can enjoy complete protection of their privacy,' continues Mr. van Eesteren."
