Privacy should be a major concern for everyone on the Internet these days. You would be surprised what search engines such as Google know about you - well, not really about you unless you have a real name account with them and are logged in when performing searches.
Have you ever searched for something personal on Google ? A disease for instance, work or religion related searches ? There is an easy way to search Google anonymously though which I will describe shortly only. There is nothing wrong in searching for general stuff without hiding your IP and identity but when it comes to personal information that are part of the search you should use an anonymizer to make sure this information is not stored in Google's databases.
Googlonymous is basically a frontend for a Google search that replaces your IP with the one from their server which means that Google will never have access to your IP. Even more interesting in my opinion is the two hour long video which can be watched on the site detailing the dangers of data mining.
