I keep hearing Google and yahoo search engines store everything you search for indefinitely. We all know the US Gov spies on us. Im not trying to be "bad", but I like things that are illegal. So, is there a good search engine that does not store and share all the crazy shit I search for?

DuckDuckGo for sure. Check out their privacy policy. It's actually interesting and informative. https://duckduckgo.com/privacy
Also, check out their advanced settings and cloud cookie system.

Your browsing history should be considered secure, and although there are ways around this (Flash, visited selectors for links, cache timing, cross-domain JS requests, etc) it would be pretty shady for Google to exploit this. I would be surprised if they did.
More likely it is an IFRAME or something originating from google.com that will grab your session information and they already have your search history and all that. Cookies should only be able to be viewed by websites from the same domiain (google same origin policy).

A 3rd party proxy never goes astray either, especially if you like downloading stuff.

I find duckduckgo is great for Linux questions, but if I have Microsoft question it is a complete flop. Useless for malware and networking research also. It doesn't seem to gather code box results in bbcode.

These new computers, I can't believe they don't come with a detailed manual. I use Duckduckgo for things I don't want NSA or the Gov to find out Im searching for. I hope its good for that.

Unless you are using a 3rd party proxy, probably not.

A proxy server is a service that you pay to route all your traffic through. 3rd party being that neither you nor your ISP provide it for your connection. Also known as a VPN.
Basically, your ISP only sees the address of that proxy server for all of your internet access and that server keeps no records of what pages you request or connect to. It's an easy way of anonymizing your internet traffic.
I use PIA, but there are plenty of others. You just have to research and make sure that your proxy keeps no records though... there have been cases of proxy companies logging everything and handing it over to the government.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know. Looking at the PIA video, it seems its designed to keep individual hackers from spying on us through our WI-FI internet connection. From what you wrote, it seems it applies to to all forms of internet access, including DSL.

Doesn't protect your wifi at all, nor does it protect you from hackers... it stops your traffic being logged by your ISP.
Yep, it applies to all forms of internet access

No. It's not good for that. Advertisers and social media sites can follow you around from site to site so long as they have assets on the pages that you visit (or you're using their browser ). DuckDuckGo keeps advertisers from linking your search history to your identity and surfing habits. That's it.
The NSA gets everything it wants from your ISP. Imagine that there is an NSA agent sitting just outside your computer recording every packet that you send, and you'll start to get the picture. That's why you want end-to-end encryption. In the case of websites such as DuckDuckGo, you can connect to them using a secure HTTPS connection that they NSA can't break, sure. The problem is that the NSA doesn't need to break the encryption. They just smash the service provider in the face with a secret, cooperate-or-else national security letter, and the site has to unlock your communications for them.
That's why you need to disassociate your encrypted communications from your physical location by routing through a VPN that doesn't keep logs and doesn't have servers in the United States or its close allies. Even that can't stop them if they feel that you're worth the effort, but at least it raises the bar high enough that you won't get snarfed up in their front-line vacuum.

Shit! Im not worth the effort, the only "bad" thing I want to do is get drugs for myself, post on this web site and visit alternative news web sites.. Im more concerned about the DEA then the NSA.
I learned how to operate computers using my windows XP manual. I tried and abandoned windows 8 and got a mac. I can barley comprehend what your telling me and so can't do most of it. I really do appreciate the info! I know enough to be careful.
