IXQuick - Internet Search facility avoids logging user searches

Idea I've just learned of this Search engine, which originates from a company located in Holland.  While I'll continue to use Google, MS Live, MSN, Yahoo, etc., their emphasis on privacy is beneficial to users. 

IXQuick promotes privacy by not storing IP address information when searches are conducted.  While Google and other search engine providers capture IP addresses, this information is usually sold to interested parties on an aggregate basis, (e.g., where all users are bundled together without reporting specific user information).  Although most of my searches would be boring to someone analyzing them, privacy is important to safeguard in all Internet activities.
