private, more secure search engine
« on: January 19, 2012, 02:47:04 PM »
My daughter found this at Richocet

https://www.startpage.com/

Just wondering if anyone was familiar with it.

It uses Google but doesn't collect IP addresses.

Haven't heard of that one.

Just recently switched from Dogpile to this one:

Seems almost identical to another one that I have on my bookmark list:

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

They do; this could be why ....

Quote
Startpage—also known as Ixquick outside the United States and Britain—had already offered private searching, but users would leave the company's protection when they clicked on a search result and entered a third-party website.

The new service offers use of a Startpage proxy that means the user is invisible to all websites, though pages load more slowly since Startpage must first retrieve the contents and then redisplay them.

I may have to switch once again, to Startpage.

I don't know, but it does look similar as well.  The quote I posted about ixquick came from your link; startingpage wasn't mentioned that I saw.

I'm curious to see what everyone thinks about it.  I put in search terms I used in Bing yesterday and came up with the same results with this one today.

Clicking on the "About" links on all three reveal the same info, do not collect IP's!

Good find LV!

I've been using Startpage for about six months now. One warning: don't lull yourself into the mistaken belief that you've completely jettisoned Gargoyle.com. Startpage's advanced search utilizes gargoyles engine.
