Assures anonymity to users.

BANGALORE: At a time when search engine giants like Google and Bing are fighting to make their search results free from adult content, a new search engine has emerged that features only pornographic content.
BoodiGo is a new search engine developed by ex-Google employees who aim at exploring new possibilities by listing the most tabooed content on the internet – porn. BoodiGo was officially launched on September 15 after a yearlong development process to engineer an ethical algorithm for a new porn search engine.
Colin Rowntree, one of the founders of BoodiGo and the owner of a fetishist porn site told Spain’s EFE news agency that the response to the porn search engine was overwhelming and “it took off like a rocket”.
The development work of BoodiGo was done by a Los Angeles based tech company named 0x7a69.
According to the study conducted by Optenet, 37 percent of pages that are online contain pornographic content. According to another study 30% of total internet bandwidth is used up by porn videos.
Google had earlier reported that each year there is a considerable increase in the number of pornography related queries that users type in the search engine.
BoodiGo has a separate tab for searching porn tags in Tumblr, which was made difficult after Yahoo! took it over.
BoodiGo claims that they use double verification process to ascertain the trustworthiness of the sites that are indexed. The algorithm of the porn search engine is designed to exclude malicious and fraudulent sites that re-direct the users to virus infested porn sites.
BoodiGo also protects the identity of the users. The privacy policy of BoodiGo reads “BoodiGo does not collect any information from you, so we have nothing to share. We are dedicated to protecting our users information. When you use our search engine, we do not know who you are and what you searched for. You are anonymous.”
