Hi greglindahl. StartPage has a contract with Google that allows us to use their official "Syndicated Web Search" feed. We pay them to get those results.

Why don't you have the same results as Google? For example some searches will return nothing in Startpage but a few results in Google. Are they intentionally limiting the quality of the feed they provide?
Startpage is recent discovery for me. I really like it. Is it possible you can share any ball park numbers, traffic, growth etc?
They have a traffic page here: https://www.startpage.com/traffic/
I'm not sure how I missed that. Thanks.
What do you have in place when Google decides to cut you off from the '"Syndicated Web Search" feed'?
