Search engines like Google and Yahoo! are great when it comes to accuracy and relevancy but they aren’t the best thing if you are concerned about your privacy. They store information about your search history and use that to improve their algorithms.

If you want to search the internet anonymously and don’t want the search engine to remember what you searched for or what was your IP address, Yauba is an excellent alternative. Yauba is a “privacy safe” search engine meaning it doesn’t store any information about your searches, your IP address, your browsing habits or any other personally identifiable information.

Other than that, Yauba works like a regular search engine allowing you to search websites, news, blogs, images, videos, files and even torrents. You can select any of these categories to narrow down your search or select all the places to perform a global search. With Yauba, search results include a thumbnail of the website and provide a link to the home page of the website in addition to the page containing your keywords. Another feature that makes Yauba unique is the consolidation of results in different categories such as news, social networks, real-time search e.t.c.

Yauba also works as a proxy server by letting you browse websites anonymously. Every search result includes a little link titled Visit Website Anonymously that lets you browse the website without compromising your privacy. Yauba also offers a lite version of the search engine that is even faster.

Techie-Buzz Verdict:

Yauba is a great search engine that is both intelligent and privacy-safe. You can use it as an anonymous search engine or a proxy server to visit websites anonymously. Yauba’s intelligent algorithm combined with a great interface makes it one of the best search engines around.

Rating: 4/5
