Too bad they raised money from VCs, giving them control over the direction of this search engine, now they're on a treadmill. Going to be acquired by Apple sooner or later for their search engine or (most likely) will shut down in less than 2 years due to pressure by VCs. Any business that raises money from VCs and touts claims of privacy being a differentiator is almost always suspect.
