The privacy question at Ask.com

RealAudio - MP3 - iTunes

Hoping to grab a little of the limelight from the attention-hog that is Google, search engine Ask.com has added a feature that empowers users to prevent their searches from being stored in company computers.

When turned on, the "AskEraser" feature purges a users search requests within a few hours. Ask.com normally keeps a record of your searches, tied to your computer's unique IP address, for 18 months.
