Anonymous search engines allow users to search the web without storing personal information or data, including IP addresses and search history. They also allow anonymous browsing of websites through proxy servers.
An anonymous search engine is a search engine that allows users to search the world wide web anonymously. Unlike most search engines, they don’t store your personal information or data. Other people who use your computer are also unable to see any of your previous search terms. Anonymous search engines also usually allow people to visit most websites anonymously.
Most major search engines store some information when a person searches the web. This information is often stored as cookies. These cookies typically contain a unique code that can be linked back to a particular computer.
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are just one piece of information stored by many search engines. An anonymous search engine usually does not store a user’s IP address. This numerical code is usually unique to a particular electronic device, such as a computer. Sometimes certain search terms can be traced back to a particular computer, via its IP address
Sometimes location information about a person using a regular search engine may also be stored. This information can be general or more specific. For example, a person’s status can be identified and stored. Other search engines can only identify and store a person’s country. A reputable anonymous search engine, on the other hand, will not store this information.
Many of the major search engines also keep a record of what terms have been searched for on a given computer. These terms can often be found when a user starts typing in a new search term. By simply pressing the up or down arrow keys, a list box with previously searched terms will appear.
Anyone who uses a computer can find several search terms that other users have searched for. Even an anonymous search engine usually won’t store this information. This allows users to search for anything without others finding out. Computer users looking for adult material, for example, may find these types of search engines useful if children use these machines.
An anonymous search engine can also allow users to visit their websites without these visits appearing in the website’s statistics. This is usually made possible thanks to a proxy server. When users click on a search result, they are usually able to see a website, but their personal data and IP addresses are hidden from that site’s webmaster.
