I’m with ya, Yardstick! I’ve been online sine ‘94, and this is the first time I’ve heard of Scroogle. What exactly IS Scroogle? Scraping?

It ‘scrapes’ the google return and send them to you. That way google cannot track your search and relate it to your IP.

They track every user that connects to google. They can tell all kinds of information about your pc including OS, location and IP. They can then related your search to your address. They keep the information for a very long time.
