‘Scroggle’ also claims IP address is not saved or passed through, no search result information saved, and everything is done in SSL....
Indeed, but Scoogle is only in SSL when you access it via https://ssl.scroogle.org. The normal Scroogle Scraper (http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm) does not use SSL.
Additionally, Scroogle does not show any pictures, while IXQuick still does. However, I do also use SSL Scroogle at times.
One last thing about Sctoogle versus IXQuick is that IXQuick gets audited by an independent group.
I don’t know if anyone can validate what happens with your info at Scroogle.org except for their own words on it.
