About Ixquick Search

Ixquick Search

THE WORLD'S MOST PRIVATE WEB SEARCH APP
Ixquick Search gives you convenient mobile access to Ixquick.com, the world's most private search engine.
It lets you search for information privately and anonymously, from the convenience of your smartphone or other mobile device.
It's the perfect tool for iron-clad privacy protections, plus great search results.

COMPLETE SEARCH PRIVACY AND ANONYMITY
Other search engines capture your search terms and record the links you click on, then use tracking cookies to build a detailed profile of you and your interests.
At Ixquick, our zero data-collection policy and full SSL encryption is your assurance that nobody's looking over your shoulder, no matter what you search for.
We don't collect any personal information on our users.
We don't store your IP address, we don't capture your location, and we don't record what you searched for.
In fact, we keep no records on you at all. Nada. Zilch. Zero.

OVERVIEW OF IXQUICK SEARCH PRIVACY FEATURES
- All searches are encrypted using powerful SSL encryption. That means your service provider can't see what you search for—and neither can hackers.
- Your searches are scrubbed and anonymized for privacy.
- Ixquick Search protects you from physical intrusion by deleting your searches and Web history after a set time delay, or the app is closed or suspended. With one tap of your Home button, your searches are gone.
- Ixquick Search strips out your search terms, so they can’t be seen by the websites you visit.
- Ixquick Search never uses tracking cookies, and rejects tracking cookies from websites you visit.
- Ixquick Search never records your IP address, search terms, or location.

OVERVIEW OF STARTPAGE SEARCH FEATURES
- Fully integrated web browser
- Full web-search capability with superior result quality and star system for rating results
- Full image search
- Powerful Advanced Search capabilities
- Control over display settings and privacy features

PRIVATE PROXY SURFING FEATURE
When you need extra privacy, you'll love our Proxy. It works by copying the web page you want to visit onto our server, so you see it through us, not them. Because you never make contact with the third-party website, they can't infect you with cookies or malware, and they can't see your IP address or other information. They only see us, while you stay safe and invisible behind the scenes.

You can use the Ixquick Proxy to access any website you find through a Ixquick search. Simply click the "Proxy" link under the search result.

Note: For security reasons, the Proxy restricts web forms and Javascript, and websites may not be optimized for mobile devices (since we don't even tell them you're on a mobile device!)

What are users saying about Ixquick Search

X70%
by X####:

Top Notch......the Ixquick team has put together a solid, no- nonsense search engine that delivers on its promise. There's no angle here, no trap, no hidden clause at the bottom of the page that's been microscopically writen so you wont notice it. Its straight forward, honest and you really feel that the people who put this all together.....truly did it because they simply lost trust in the internet and they felt like the puplic had as well. I trust Ixquick..........and that's saying a lot. Peace

K70%
by K####:

I I dislike advertisements while I'm searching for products online. With this app I don't have to worry about getting pop ups or advertisements about similar products that I searched or purchased. Secondly everyone has a right to research the internet in private.i would hate to have a librarian follow me around in the library taking note of what I researched, checked out or read there.

Z70%
by Z####:

If you don't value what this search engine does for you, you haven't been paying attention. Privacy and security have become primary concerns for many people who spend time on the Internet. I recently discovered this app for Android and I am thrilled. I gladly give them 5 stars and the full "BOO YAH WOO WOO".

Constitutional laws are being broken every day and it's all in the name of what is call Justice. No one's aware and no one cares until it touches them. When that happens you'll be just like that guy in this picture. Make sure your rights are protected by using protected search browsers.

Repeating last guys remarks, but they did deliver and continue to deliver exactly what they promised. With ixquick I don't receive random solicitors emailing me after I search for something using the ixquick app. Unlike micro-bing-soft.

J70%
by J####:

This app does, at the very least, give you the feeling that it's very private. I have no idea if it works as it claims it will. How do I know if a browser is more private than the other ones? Idk

Y70%
by Y####:

I get quick responses with fresh results that aren't weighted or influenced by prior activity or what someone thinks I'm looking for. It was getting more and more difficult to find information that contrasted or contradicted prior searches or activity. I will check back after a bit of usage to update my review.

I used to LOVE this app, but today, it has been nothing but errors....errors and more errors! The Error notice comes up and states that the app has stopped working AGAIN!!!

I read at length about this app and found similar good reviews elsewhere. A very important issue may I stress. Ixquick please answer: ****I know vpn runs through encrypted channel, more CRITICAL is preventing DNS leaks at either end of tunnel, I read nothing re preventing DNS leaks of all our info and data is VERY VERY !! dangerous. No 'kill switch' on this vpn, you say to hit home but we would be unaware if our data was leaking then too. Please reply re this critical concern. Thanks v much.

I use this app because the ones who created it are have good principles and the searches have excellent. I appreciate your passion. I appreciate the long hours it took to create this. It's wonderful and one of a kind. I recommend this app and website to anyone who nodded in agreement when they were reading​ the description​.

It glitches and shuts off as soon as I start typing. This happens at least 75% of the time!

When using Google you are sacrificing your security. Think of it this way. Using google is like allowing a stranger to walk around your house at night, as long as they don't touch.

N70%

I've used IXQUICK for a couple of years with no problem on my windows PC but have found it is very glitchy in android. Hope you guys work out the bugs.

Reverts to Start page search, which now uses Go-Ogle algorithms, so you see what Go-Ogle wants you to see. Private but biased.

by Z####:

I use this exclusive instead of chrome, Opera. Mozilla, etc for all my online searchs. Privacy online without collecting any info on you or you computer. Simply the best if you don't want your info collected. I LOVE THIS INTERNET ACCESS. TRUST IT. It does what it says....read the app info....

I have been using StartPage, for over 5 years and it has been Fantastic! Except when my phone broke and lost all my saved websites.

Z70%

I love IXQ. I have nothing to hide but I hate others gathering my personal info. All other search engines can go away. This is top shelf. Thanks IX Quick.

U70%
by U####:

I've used Ixquick for more than 10 year, now; it is the safest search engine out there, and it gives you great search choices. When doing in-depth studies, ixquick can even High light whatever search words you use to help you quickly locate important information, more quickly. I:ve u. Tsed other search engines before, but always find myself going back to good ole Ixquick.

R70%

Hey I got this hacker ex boyfriend who's been on my tail for 5 years I can't get rid of him I'm too old to start a career in hacking so I'm hoping you guys can help. This guy is psycho and is becoming a hazard to my life. So here is the true test! Who ever gets me out of this situation, will be known worldwide as my saviour $ My Word As Gold. Taking this on would be the toughest challenge of your life.

A70%

I like how this deletes everything you search after you log out but the only thing I don't like is it won't let me sign into any apps on here, for example I brought up Facebook and it will not let me sign into it what a major let down that I can't do something as simple as that due to the fact that I really like how secure this app is.

T70%
by T####:

I have used a search engine on my desktop for quite a long time not because I'm searching for anything that I feel I need to hide but because I do believe what I do in the privacy of my home is nobody's goddamn business but mine a friend told me about this search engine and that's where I've been ever since these folks are absolute geniuses and right on the money you should be a free web free of spying

T70%

Decent references, but still conservative unfriendly. Google owned makes me still feel any search you do with this page results in adding to Blog's evil intent.

T70%
by T####:

1st: no widget. I install and use ixquick as the default search engine all the time on my Firefox browsers (even mobile), yet I can't even get a simple widget that lets me do a direct search? 2nd: after opening the app, meaning I have already told my device I want to use the app I have to hit a button to get to the search, what a waste of time. 3rd: On browsers you offer sponsored search results which are typically relevant to the search, here you forced an ad on me before taking me to my results.

X70%
by X####:

Privacy matters. And the reason you would get "ads forced on you" before your results is because they don't use trackers that follow what you do..BTW that's a good thing. -_-

T70%
by T####:

Have been using it for quite a while in my browsers. For android the app is handy. If it's as secure in the background as it seems on the surface, it would deserve 7 stars.

This program rocks on cell,pc,tab or whatever privacy comes first for me hate being profiled cough Google cough !

So 3stars so i xan even see what the app does. You guys would do better to let me try it out first before rating.

ixquick in general. I've always use it in PC side of things. I uninstalled it without even trying the app, because I more or less have same functionality just setting android browser home page to the generated obfuscated url from settings menu in ixquick of PC, copying it over to the phone. By opening android browser, 1 hit hard menu key 2 settings 3 set homepage 4 option "other" and type in long address 5 rt top corner Done. Walah This allows less resources being used on my phone. ♡♡classic air theme♡♡

Note that search details and results are stored on their servers for a short time period for our own benefit. This setting is adjustable in the app. For instance results can be cleared when phone goes to sleep.

I've been using IXQuick on my computer for quite some time and it's great. Glad to now get it on my phone.

X70%
by X####:

Rare that I find an application that I can not really think of some way to improve it, but this is one of those! Light on system resource use, FAST, and despite its power it is very easy to customize how You want it to search. Not to mention that it does not hammer a user with multiple obnoxious ads etc. Love the fact that it offers almost the same experience on Android as on the PC. Definitely at the Top of Our list of Must Have tools for Both Android and Windows!!

Nothing to add until I have tried this out for a further period of time
