use STARTPAGE.COM as it piggyback’s on Google’s crawler’s, that’s why it’s search results are more exact. Ixquick gives me weird results. They’re both the same org anyways..

Startpage does not 'piggyback' on Google's crawlers?!?! What in the heck is that supposed to mean? Startpage submits a request to the Google server, in the same manner as you normally would from your browser, and then displays the results. It does so in an anonymous way utilizing proxys. Ixquick is generally the name they utilize outside of the U.S.

Google bots do not have any other SE's "piggybacking" on their proprietary crawls. No one other than Google has access to the bots.
