If you use STARTPAGE, they don't record your IP address.

I talk to a guy who used to work for the NSA and he says Google shares peoples searches with the government.

told you that.
I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine, but their searches must be based on Google or something. I was looking for bullets and the hits just seemed inadequate somehow. Got some, but mostly big box retailers. I kept thinking, this is it for the whole country? Just didn't make sense. Then I remembered hearing about Startpage.com. Used them to search and lo and behold, got a whole bunch more hits from my search, mostly from smaller mom-pop type outfits that apparently don't make it past DuckDuckGo/Google. Bit of an eye opener.
You beat me...
You ain't seen nothin yet!Holy regeneration batman...
12 year old resurrection! Thats impressive!
Won't be the last time eitherYou beat me...
Kohn's is good for cheap interview clothes when your old interview clothes shrank a size or two from sitting in the closet too long!Like Kohl's, for example.
That reminds me of one of my (kinda) war stories. I'd just gotten out of the army from Vietnam. 1972. I wanted to take a little time off to catch up. In the meantime, I signed up with the state for unemployment benefits. Which requires that you be actively looking for work (or at least pretending), and will interview for any referrals that their office lines up. Needless to say, I wasn't really interested in work at that moment. So the state office calls, they have an interview for me. As a dispatcher for truck drivers in the harbor. Not wanting this job or any job, I went in for the interview in a dirty Tee shirt and unshaven. When asked, I answered questions with a monosyllabic grunt. The deal was, they wanted me to sit at a dispatch window wearing a sportscoat and tie in order to deal with truck drivers, for $2.75 an hour. I wasn't hired.Kohn's is good for cheap interview clothes when your old interview clothes shrank a size or two!
I switched from DuckDuckGo to Startpage because I read somewhere the Duck was collecting marketing info and or using Bings search engine.Before the resurrection and when this thread was buried, DuckDuckGo was used for less than 1.8 million searches per day. Now there are well over 100 million searches per day, so it is kinda a revival post.
I use Bing for nearly all my internet viewing. And Bing regularly gives me articles and videos as well as ads about guns and ammo. It seems to be perfectly happy to indulge my interest in guns. It lets me use gunbroker, Midway, Sw, Ruger, buffalo bore underwood, federal, Winchester, CZ, etc. I recently bought a shotgun on Gunbroker via Bing. No problems. If anything Bing appears to be elated that its finally found a kind of ad I actually click on occasionally. Its been sending me a steady diet of ads on shotgun ammo. It certainly has nothing against gun related material.
