Comment Startpage & Google Images (Score 1) 164
I use Startpage.com for almost every search I do, the anonymous nature is sweet and it does have the Google search engine behind it.
I say almost because I still use Google's image search tool when I require some images that I might be using in any 'customer' facing work as it allows me to sort by what is labeled for commercial/non-commercial/modification reuse.
Google images is a well under utilised and misunderstood tool which gives a lot of power to people that they then completely fail to use. I teach in higher education and I see a lot of people submit images in their work that they have just pulled of a Google search without realising that they have the tools available to stop them committing copyright violations on the very tool they are using so my first class for every group is how to use both Startpage and Google image search properly.
I have been, for the last 12 months, teaching in a new Cyber Security qualification and it is amazing how little people consider these basic interactions with the Internet.
