I was sent a notice about a new search engine that maintains complete privacy by my acquaintance Katherine Albrecht, the worlds foremost authority on RFID privacy issues.

I've made no secret of my disdain for other search engines like Google or Yahoo who tell you they're doing a favor by only storing data for a little while. And then there was AOL who proved to the world how damaging even anonymized search data can be.

Technically, Ixquick is a meta search engine and doesn't do it's own work, but by acting as an intermediary, it can effectively shield you from the rotten privacy practices of those other guys. It will take some testing to see how well it works, but it's worth a shot until some of the other search services wise up.
