They even asked to be REMOVED from the list of companies in the law. Yahoo, Ask, AOL, and other big names in the business agreed. This therefore allows Google and all of the companies that it owns to RELEASE sensitive information. Such as Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, addresses, full names, online banking passwords, and much more. If you want a company that actually keeps data in GOOD hands try Bing.com, Yahoo.com, and AOL. I am also converting my email address to live.com to protect myself from Google selling my information.

It's as easy as going to your settings and just flicking the switch. Plus, exactly what is it that you are searching for that would label you as suspicious? I've got nothing to hide, if google wants to index my searches, its fine by me. If you dont want them to index your search results, then turn it off.

I am amazed everytime I receive my shopping coupons that the selection is uncannily like my own shopping list. Data collection is so vast that we are in danger of being assimilated into an on and offline Borg collective, where only those who have the right marking or barcode will be able to interact with society.

Right after all the "I'm paranoid" writing that falls in line with their current advertising campaign. Ask will never be anything more than a Z list engine.

First option of alt search engine is. . . . ask. Right after all the “I’m paranoid” writing that falls in line with their current advertising campaign.

Ask will never be anything more than a Z list engine.

Seriously, tell me.

You get unfiltered search results (you'd be amazed what you're missing) & avoid being tracked. http://tor.eff.org/ I advise it in these days of infowars. It’s really not all that odd.

It's actually superior to google for music and video anyways, at least for the kinds of music and videos I'm interested in. The interface could use some work, but the results it returns are generally pretty good. It was after all, before google, the standard against which all other search engines were measured. altavista.
