Did anyone read the EULA?
Two things bother me. One is they collect what you are searching for and
two, they can change anything in the EULA without notifying you as YOU have
to keep looking at the newest EULA if you want to be informed of changes. So
basically they can collect what they want now and won't disclose it to 3rd
parties but what makes them not able to change that in the future, without
notice? Almost close to spyware if you ask me....

information that resides on your computer, including, without limitation,
the number of searches you do and the time it takes to see your results.
Unless you (and the users to whom you distribute in accordance with these
