Thanks Yrrah. I forgot that I already have that one bookmarked. And they
even have an Advance Search page:

John Corliss BS206. Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts
sent through Google Groups. I also block as many posts from anonymous
remailers (for example, usenet4all.se, x-privat.org, dizum.com,
tioat.net, frell.theremailer.net) as possible due to forgeries posted
through them.

No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited,
trial or web wares OR warez for me, please. Adobe Flash sucks, DivX rules.

Last time this happened, they sent an e-mail to Google, but they never
got a response. So I wouldn't hold my breath; if it's up to Google, then
it's bye-bye Scroogle. :~(

In any case...

Ixquick HTTPS Privacy Search Engine 20090703

or

Another good reason to use Fx. :-)

Can it install NoScript as an add-on?
