Microsoft announced last week that it will delete internet protocol (IP) addresses linked with search queries after six months in an effort to comply with European privacy laws. Currently Bing holds this data for 18 months. According to Microsoft, the new policy will be rolled out over the next 12 to 18 months.

No word yet from Google or Yahoo as to whether they will follow suit.

Does Bing’s move impact how you will surf the web in the future?

A lot of us might not be bothered by this news. It’s not really a big deal.

Is this really an issue? This will have zero impact on my searching methods. I am excited that Yahoo! will be swiching to Bing's search algorithm soon though, as my sites tend to rank better in Bing.

Maybe I should care more about stuff like this but I don't. I could really care less if my IP is stored by all the search engines for 5 years. I guess if I was searching for ways to make "something" bigger or ready "when the time arises" I might care more.

Not at all ... Bing is good for maps, but always use Google for general searches. They crawl websites the fastest too. Although Yahoo ranks many of my websites pages higher.
