Are you scared about searching about some confidential data on the internet, that you believe will be saved in Google's search history for the next 18 months? Well, who doesn't actually? Moreover, to add to your surprise, Google sends your unique IP Address and a lot of other details like Browser used, the country from which you are browsing, Operating system used, and more. You wouldn't want to go searching-and-jumping on Google for private and confidential data, would you? And to your surprise, the face of a AOL user was exposed simply with the AOL Search record data.
We here at Computer Support 24/7 found a search engine, Duck Duck Go. It can be accessed from http://duckduckgo.com/. If you want to use the secure server, you can find it at https://duckduckgo.com. It does not track you, nor does it send data to websites. This can be partly troubling to webmasters since they won't be able to know about their correct view statistics but for the front-end user, it's really helpful. It is wonder.
There is a popular case that made Google fire their own employee, who breached the privacy policy of the site by exercising his power wrongly and logging into other accounts just for fun, in the name of "general duty". It isn't general duty to hack other's accounts, rather illegal, and against the law. Here's the article about that bad Google employee: http://gawker.com/5637234/. It does happen.
Next time you want to search anything confidential, don't carelessly Google it! Duck it. I mean, visit http://duckduckgo.com and search for anything you want. It also has some new cool features. Check them now.
