A method of redirecting search queries from an untrusted search engine to a trusted search engine is a software application that is used to prevent personal information from being collected by untrusted search engines. The software application receives a search query URL for a desired search engine which corresponds to a search query. The search query is compared to a provided plurality of untrusted URL patterns in order to determine if the desired search engine can be trusted. If the search query URL is not found on in the plurality of untrusted URL patterns, the search is allowed to proceed. If the search query URL is found in the plurality of untrusted URL patterns, the search query is redirected to a trusted search engine. At least one trusted URL pattern is provided so that the search can be redirected to a trusted search engine.
