Google is currently working on the biggest database on human beings ever collected in human history - every time you search using google you are adding to this database.

I have just found out about this new search engine Startpage Search Engine that claims to be the world's most private seach engine. Startpage does not record your IP address or make a record of your searches.

I'm sold! I have now made Startpage my default homepage/search engine and I urge you to do the same. Let's make it go viral! Break free from the tyranny of google!

I learned about it here in an interview with Katherine Albrecht author of "Spychips" - she is their official spokeperson which gives it a lot credibility in my eyes.

As regards collecting data FT? I suppose this is true too.

It's not a great search engine and its claims of privacy are unproven. For real privacy just use TOR.

I know it's a bit slow re startpage but what about Thor??

Google does give good seach results, so try this

Scroogle.org

An ad-free Google search proxy which prevents the searcher's data being stored by Google

As regards what Rhonda says about them not recording IP addresses. Even if they didn't, that is no guarantee of privacy. Remember the Echelon system, shared by the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and South African, which reportedly records every single communication on the planet? Everything is stored there I imagine. Big Brother is watching.
