I think Google wanted to shut them down because Scroogle offer an SSL search service, so all searches are encrypted. Too much privacy, Google would say.

- jacquesm 16y agoThe number of searches through scroogle per day compared to google directly is so low that I don't think that was a factor here.
- gnosis 16y agoHow do you know the number of searches that went through Scroogle was so low it wasn't a factor? It may well have been a factor. Or it might not have been. We simply don't know.

- zandorg 16y agoI meant that Google don't want SSL searches, at all. Even a small service is still too much for them.
