    DuckDuckGo

    I have just read about a search engine called DuckDuckGo which is an alternative to Google. Apparently it doesn't personalise,profile or filter your searches, which gives you more online privacy. Anyrate I thought I would trial it.

    Any thoughts from the computer tech heads here???

    From the thread title, I thought you were talking about the cricket.

    Any links or reviews?

    Very funny Mick, but the title would suit the Aussie cricket team at the moment.

    I just read about it in a local newspaper!!!

    ps. I am giving it a go and so far everything seems fine!!

    You can use Google commands to specify search criteria ie to get .com.au only results just add the command site:.com.au after your search term.
