Online searching and privacy

Search engines will keep a record of what searches a user requests. Search engine companies will say that this helps them refine their search methods. And while that is true, many people are uncomfortable with leaving a trail of their searches. Ask.com now has a feature called AskEraser that deletes a user's search activities from the ask.com servers.

AskErase is available in the upper right hand corner of the Ask.com homepage.


Update: D'oh, made the ask.com a hyperlink. Who knew you could do such things on the intertubes.
