Thank you David for sharing this, I've never heard of GigaBlast until 
now. General question: What do you and others who have used it think of 
its functionality? Does it work well as your "day to day" workhorse 
search engine? And how does it compare to other privacy-touting search 
engines such as Startpage, Searx, or DuckDuckGo?
