Summary

SearchLock helps you keep your searches private. Prevents yourself from being profiled based on your searches.

IMPORTANT FEATURES:

  1. SearchLock detects and redirects your searches while using Google, Bing, Ask, and other search engines that profile you for advertising purposes to SearchLock's privacy-enhancing search engine instead. This includes while you are searching from their branded sites.

This means that all of your queries, even those made from branded search pages like Google.com or Bing.com will be redirected to SearchLock's results where you are not profiled.

  1. SearchLock blocks these same search engines from logging your keystrokes by deactivating the search suggestion feature.

Simply put, SearchLock prevents popular search engines including Google, Bing, and Ask from building a profile about you based on your search history by redirecting your searches to safety.

Your privacy is safe with SearchLock.
