IXQuick's a temporal alternative. IP addresses aren't logged, and it doesn't only search for stuff in Google, but multiple engines. If you access via startpage.com, it doesn't use cookies, either. Give it a try:

http://www.startpage.com/

Here's the URL to use for searching directly from your address bar:

http://www.startpage.com/do/metasearch.pl?query=%s

The interface isn't as clean as Scroogle's and there are ads, but you can't have everything in life.

No, Ixquick is not based on Google.
It uses All the Web, Digg, Qkport, Ask/Teoma, EntireWeb, Wikipedia, Bing, Gigablast, Yahoo, Cuil and Open Directory.

Another Ixquick's advantage is that you can connect to the site you are searching through Ixquick's own proxy.


But as anon said, Ixquick's interface is not so clean than scroogle's.

An other alternative could be Yauba. You can search sites, images, videos, blogs, documents (pdf, word, powerpoint...). As with Ixquick, you can access to the site your are searching through yauba's proxy.

But Yauba is s not a metasearch engine, Yauba has no https version, and imo Ixquick's privacy reputation is far better (some people are even thinking that Yauba could be a honeypot).

As Renk said, it searches multiple engines. The number of stars after a result indicates how many of them returned that same result. A search for "SB-Innovation" has us in the second place with five stars.

Scroogle is back!

Not for long...
After all scrapping google results is against against their terms of service.

True. Also, Scroogle has few servers while Google has hundreds - I don't know why they don't simply block the former's IPs if they have a problem with scraping.
