网络搜索目前是个人隐私日益受到关注的一个来源。它是大多数用户在线活动的重要组成部分，因此可能会泄露大量个人信息。为了帮助用户保护其隐私，我们设计并实现了Private WebSearch（PWS），这是一个可用的客户端工具，可以最大限度地减少用户向搜索引擎透露的信息。我们的工具可以保护用户免受涉及活动组件和定时信息的攻击，更一般的Web浏览隐私工具（包括FoxTor和Privoxy的组合）容易受到攻击。PWS是一个Firefox插件，用作HTTP代理和Tor匿名网络的客户端。它配置Firefox，以便从PWS搜索框执行的搜索查询通过HTTP代理和Tor客户端路由，过滤请求和响应的潜在敏感或识别组件。
Web search is currently a source of growing concern about personal privacy. It is an essential and central part of most users' activity online and therefore one through which a significant amount of personal information may be revealed.To help users protect their privacy, we have designed and implemented Private WebSearch (PWS), a usable client-side tool that minimizes the information that users reveal to a search engine. Our tool protects users against attacks that involve active components and timing information, to which more general Web-browsing privacy tools (including the combination of FoxTor and Privoxy) are vulnerable. PWS is a Firefox plugin that functions as an HTTP proxy and as a client for the Tor anonymity network. It configures Firefox so that search queries executed from the PWS search box are routed through the HTTP proxy and Tor client, filtering potentially sensitive or identifying components of the request and response.
