Seems to work fine.  Thank you!  File size is much smaller, too, not that it matters.

Scott:
BTW, have I mentioned lately that you're awesome?  :)

Sorry I haven't donated lately.  I'm still poor hard up, ya see...

mouser:
on a related topic:

There's a bunch of work that computer scientists and cryptographers are doing in an area called "Private Information Retrieval" that tries to find ways of asking search queries in a way that you get the answer you want, but the database doesn't know what you asked for.

Has anyone noticed the following alternate way of getting around Google's data collection?:

Scott:
I'd long known about google-watch.org, but scroogle.org is new to me.

I still don't see why I should trust them over anyone else.  Who is to say if or how long they really store searches, or if they'll be subpoenaed with everyone else?

I'll think I'll just continue to heavily pollute my Google searches with RandomSubmitter.
