Default Search Engines & Spyware

It's no secret that a lot of search engines use spyware to track their users. My husband pointed me to a new one that's been listed on the 50 coolest sites in Time magazine.

http://clusty.com They've even got a search capability for Wikipedia.

I've always got one of the search engine bars on my browser window and these guys are no exception. Really nice, if you ask me. Besides, I'm sick of Google.
