How safe is your internet search?

100%, cause i only search important matter.

Thanks for sharing good insight.As already some of us or aware of this,still go for google or yahoo search instead of the sites.From my side i will try to avoid this not to happen.

Hi suvrajit, i am not saying that one should not use search engine at all or I am not against Indians or anybody here, I've just highlighted the trend that is there at the moment in terms of internet search and have tried to bring out the vulnerabilities that is there along with it just to know what a simple query on net will give out about a person when they keep on googling :)

I think it's a vague assumption by the author that net users from less developed nations (say Asian countries like India & China) are immature. Agreed that there are clear & present dangers of using search engines but it's practically impossible to remember each & every website address.

I would like to give another angle to it. It's proved that people from the west are low on IQ (that is what is taught in every call centre aka '35=10 theory') in comparison to their Asian compatriots. So it's possible that they have a limited knowledge base & have less curiosity to search for more. I think this curiosity to know more drives the people from less developed or for example Asian countries to go for search engines. Now the argument given by me is as vague as the one given by the author. But the point is that search engines are indispensable & we can't do without using them.

I think on the personal front we should restrain from declaring vital information on social networking sites & for greater security we should use a secure network. But limiting use of search engines is not the solution.   

Agreed that there still might be some security glitches but can we really help it ?? I don't think so .........    

Though India is a super-power in terms of its seer population of net-users, the netizens are yet to gain all the maturity that other net users have in say western countries.

As you rightly pointed out, simply by querying a general topic in a search engine makes one vulnerable to illicit marketing practices like selling of private id's. I am not quite aware of any specific government regualtion or criminal act preventing it.

Hence, the onus is on us to educate the new net users especially  the teenagers against the evil designs of pedophiles and other such offenders.
Also, we have to start a propganda to influence the governement to adopt harsh punitive measures against such practices.

Hence, 

Nowadays internet search has become more risky. People should be careful while entering the key words for the search, because the most popular key words seems to be more risky. So people should go directly to the website instead of going through Google or yahoo. This helps you to reduce the risk in internet search.

Thank you really for this good knowledge, though i was knowing about it still can't help me out coz i also try the same thing most of the times.But, with the wide use and application of Internet in today's world, its really hard to skip or find an easy alternate to this thing.But, now since you have made me somewhat aware i would like to memorise the websites instead of going for search engines.

Good to know this. Thanks
