Search Encrypt is another of the alternative search engines to the usual ones that we all know and use in our Internet sessions, having the particularity of being a search engine focused on privacy, as well as other options already known, such as DuckDuckGo or StartPage, among others.
Launched in April 2016, and therefore two years old, Search Encrypt is a much more robust option, as it not only does not have tracking features but also encrypts our search terms locally, using the standard AES-256 encryption, so that our searches are not recorded, even if someone enters our computer after us.
This is one of the aspects that differentiates this private search engine from DuckDuckGo, where this Search Encrypt publication points out that with DuckDuckGo, anyone who accesses our computer will be able to view our searches, as they are stored in plain text form in our browsing history.
Search Encrypt points out that the keys used in another of its publications expire once we stop searching so that the search terms we have used will disappear from our history.
In other words, Search Encrypt addresses the issue of privacy in every way, including at the local level. Also, for those who want to integrate it into their web browser, Search Encrypt has an extension for both Chrome and Firefox.
This is an interesting option for those who want to search the Internet in complete confidentiality, and in fact, recommend these other platforms for our Internet communications.
