Internet - Ixquick Search Engine

Today I read the posting September 1, 2006 "Search Engine Embraces Privacy" on Sandy Berger's Blog "Keeping It Short and Simple" and the related Compu-Kiss article "Ixquick Search Engine Embraces Privacy".

I was intrigued enough by these, to try out Ixquick www.ixquick.com myself; from what I have seen and experienced so far I think that I will be using this myself, along with my current favorite Google.

My reasons are not so much privacy related. If the Justice Department really wants to know my surfing habits, I am sure they can find out by other means anyway.

I personally like the star system to show the relevancy of the search results, see the Compu-Kiss article for more details. As Ixquick is a Meta Search Engine, you are actually searching multiple search engines at the same time and the stars indicate how many of those turn the result up in their top 10./P>

All in all, at this point, I think the Ixquick Meta Search Engine, is well worth trying out.

Once you have tried it out, let me know what you think.
