Privacy is a big deal for search engines. After all, who wants their internet search results being published (like AOL did last year) or personal data being leaked? CNN has asked Google, Ask.com, Yahoo, AOL and Microsoft 8 questions on privacy and the results are in.

Ask.com has come out on top (it’s a shame it has so little market share). Ask has said it won’t record what users type into its search engine and that it doesn’t engage in behavioral targeting. It also keeps data for mere hours while Google and Microsoft holds data for 18 months…

Of course, the question still remains - are you willing to switch from Google to Ask out of privacy concerns?
