Search results

Searched for something new, psnsong.exe with StartingPage & DuckDuckGo & Bing & Yahoo & Google. Only Google gave Actual results, even though SP says it's EWG ? Anyway, good for G

 

Startingpage, DDG, Bing and Ixquick pick it up now. Guess you prolly forced them to index it.

I'd like to try Scroogle but it's down...again.

 

My personal favorite privatelee picked it up now , I don't know about earlier.
http://privatelee.qrobe.it/search/

 

Never heard of that one before! Gonna give it a try for a few weeks. Does the https version work for you? I just see a blank page. Non-encrypted works fine though.


Edit: Nevermind. Here's the ssl address
https://privatelee.com/

 

Wondering how secure Startpage is compared to Google

 

Both have https available
https://www.startpage.com
https://www.google.com

It's what they record from users which differs greatly. Startpage's only takes the user agent string and date & time. If you customize the search portal page, you get an anonymous cookie.

Doesn't startpage also give a person an option to have search settings with a url address (instead of a cookie) which can then be used as the startpage page?

 

It does. So does Ixquck and Startingpage. Either use their settings output as a bookmarked page or by this method in the link. Scroll down to the Hack the Search part.

About Privatelee, seems like a really good search portal so far. Seems also that it's just a different name for qrobe.it. Same policies and parent company. For some reason though, neither work on my main system....

Editing to add: It works fine now. Forgot I had Refcontrol installed. Qrobe and Privatelee need exceptions of you're spoofing referrers.

 

I see starting page has a dates filter and url generator for settings. That is outstanding. But the dates filter does not apply to video or image searches, unless I don't see how to get that filter with those particular searches.

 

As far as I can tell, they only do date sorting for web searches.
