What searchengine do you use and why? Moving away from google myself....

So i´ve always used Google as startingpage and for all my searches on the net.
But recently i´ve been reading more and more info on different newssites that have made me think. It seems as if google and theis subsidiarys are going to try to infiltrate and save every little piece of information about just everything you do on internet in order to make a profile of every single user. I guess it´s for directed marketing but this starts to feel a bit uncomfortably to me.

I don´t wan´t google to be in the role of "Big Brother", so i´m currently looking for options.
Therefor i´m interested in what engines you use and why, and if there are any engines that offers somewhat of anonymity.
Not that my searches are secret but just because i don´t want anyone to profile me no matter what purpose.

I came across this one,

http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/yauba-anonymous-search-engine/

Obviously they are migrating atm so i can´t try it right now.
Anyone who has tried it?

And i know i can use a proxy or a VPN-tunnel. That´s not the issue. I don´t want to use and support a company that tries to log everything about me, period!

So what are your suggestions??

Tack för svar!
Har hittat lite till som jag tänkte dela med mig av om det finns fler intresserade!?

Privacy search engine IxQuick & Startpage

IxQuick was awarded the first European Privacy Seal, IxQuick privacy search engine will not record your IP address, other data like the search queries are deleted from the log files within a maximum of 48 hours, often sooner.

IxQuick uses the POST method to keep your search terms out of the logs of webmasters of sites that you reach from their results, the major search engines on the other hand, use the GET method which allows web servers to log what search terms you used to reach them.

You can use encrypted Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections to carry out your search stopping your ISP from snooping on you, this is of vital importance if you are using a public computer in an internet cafe, library or at work where the network administrator can easily spy on your search terms.

IxQuick uses a single anonymous cookie to remember the search preferences you saved for your next visit, it will not use cookies with a unique ID like many other websites do.

IxQuick also allows for advanced syntax search and being a Metasearcher, it pulls some of it results from other major search engines like Bing, Ask or the Open Directory. IxQuick also lets you visit the chosen page with a built in proxy, the webmaster server logs will only see/log IxQuick IP address and not yours.

I tested IxQuick search proxy on my server and it also spoofs your agent ID and operating system, identifying itself as Google Chrome and Windows 7, this is a good practise as it makes even more difficult to pin you down.

The Dutch IP IxQuick search proxy gives once reversed identified itself as Webhosting customers, making it obvious it is not an ISP but a hosted proxy, the URL entry was presented as blank in the server logs, overall, their proxy for searching in privacy does a good job at keeping your privacy online.

Privacy search engine Yauba

Yauba has the most clear privacy policy of all of the privacy search engines I have seen, they textually say “We do not keep any personally identifiable information. Period”.

Like IxQuick, Yauba also has an anonymous browsing mode next to the search results, you can use their free proxy service to click on the search results allowing to visit websites anonymously without giving away your computer IP and other identifiable information.

Yauba privacy search engine also claims that they do not use any cookies and they say to delete all of your personally identifiable information from their servers on a daily basis.

Privacy search engine Scroogle

Scroogle results are exactly the same ones you would get with Google but served with privacy, without advertisements, without sending out to the sites the search terms used, not logging the search terms entered and deleting your computer IP from their logs as well as not showing on the toolbar the search words you used.

Undrar jag det med. Sen orkar han skriva en vägg av text, men skriva ut "atm" det var för jobbigt.

Jag resonerar liknande om integriteten vad gäller facebook. I det fallet har jag gjort så att jag använder en browser (råkade bli Chrome) endast för FB, IE för bankärenden etc, och Firefox för övrigt surfande. Det går ju att använda samma strategi för googlesökning också

Hade jag vetat att engelska var ett så svårt att fårstå hade jag naturligtvis skrivit på Svenska. Var dock för lat och tyckte copy/paste var lättare pga tidsbrist!

Naturligtvis är det lite olyckligt med ovanstående "wall of text", men jag gjorde faktiskt ett aktivt val att ha det så för att visa på hur de olika alternativen fungerar.
Ledsen att det skulle vara jobbigt att läsa.

Kan rekommendera Ixquick till de som är intresserade!
