Title: searching the web in private
Post by: Eric H. Jung on August 29, 2007, 08:26:05 PM

If you're pissed off at Google and other search engines for keeping records of your searches (remember the AOL debacle last year? Did you read that Google saves your searches for 18 months, even if you don't have an account with them?), give scroogle (https://ssl.scroogle.org) a try. Scroogle "proxies" your search request to google, scrubbing all cookies, IP address, etc, and hands you back the response from google. SSL and non-SSL search forms are both available. There's a Firefox search engine plug-in here (http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=scroogle&sherlock=yes&opensearch=yes&submitform=Search).

Read more about scroogle here (http://scroogle.org/).
