Ixquick

Ixquick is a metasearch engine based in New York and the Netherlands, and has provided over 120 million searches since 2004. [" [http://www.metamend.com/ixquick-search-engine.html Ixquick Search] ." "http://www.metamend.com".] Ixquick was founded by David Bodnick (currently Ixquick's lead "Technologist") in 1998, from New York. It is now owned by a Dutch company - Surfboard Holding BV, which acquired this search engine in 2000. [" [http://www.hventure.nl/eng/surfboard0305.html New Ixquick International Search Engine Unveiled] ." "http://www.hventure.nl." March 23, 2005.]

Ixquick returns the top ten results from multiple search engines. It uses a "Star System" to rank its results - by awarding one star for every result that has been returned from a search engine. Thereby, the top search results are the ones that have been returned from the most search engines. Ixquick also can search in 17 languages, including Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. Each language version includes local search engines.

Ixquick was re-launched on March 23, 2005, with many new features including a re-engineered metasearch algorithm, and an international phone and lowest-price directory.

On June 27, 2006, Ixquick.com became the first search engine to delete private details of its users [" [http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/060627/20060627005367.html?.v=1 Ixquick.com Eliminates 'Big Brother'] ." "biz.yahoo.com." June 27, 2006.] . IP addresses and other personal information are deleted within 48 hours of a search. ["http://ixquick.com/eng/protect_privacy_qa.html Privacy Q&A"] Ixquick also does not share its users' personal information with other search engines or with the provider of its sponsored results. [" [http://ixquick.com/eng/privacy-policy.html Privacy Policy] "]

Ixquick was awarded the first [http://ixquick.com/eng/press/europrise.html European Privacy Seal] ( [http://www.european-privacy-seal.eu/ EuroPriSe] ) for its privacy practices on July 14, 2008. This European Union-sponsored initiative guarantees compliance with EU laws and regulations on data security and privacy, through a series of design and technical audits.
