Anonimizing of your searches using BlackBoxSearch and CustomizeGoogle

For simple anonimization through a proxy use BlackBoxSearch. Mainly BlackBoxSearch anonimizes your searches by hiding your IP. Here is a greasemonkey script that makes the use of BlackBoxSearch automatic.

To obtain a complete solution you should regularly erase your favorite search engine cookies. If you are using Firefox and Google, this can be done automatically through the CustomizeGoogle extension. To do this you have to enable the privacy protection options of it.
