Private Search Engines
For every searches you perform using Google or Bing those companies store your IP and fill your computer with tracking cookies, to understand what you search, how much time you spend on the given websites and to track your surfing habits. All of that info will be conveniently packed and used for commercial purposes.
A private search engine is one that does not track you specifically.
startpage
Startpage doesn’t log your surfing habits and it doesn’t store your IP. Startpage uses some cookies but does not assign you a unique-id cookie. The cookies collect data anonymously to help your search experience, according to the authors. Startpage acts a pseudo proxy to google giving you basically the same quality of search results.
