Editing Startpage (section)

==Features==
Startpage uses results from [[Google]], for which it pays.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.startpage.com/|title = StartPage|access-date = 3 February 2019|author=Startpage B.V. |work = www.startpage.com|quote=You can’t beat Google when it comes to online search. So we’re paying them to use their brilliant search results in order to remove all trackers and logs. The result: The world’s best and most private search engine. Only now you can search without ads following you around, recommending products you’ve already bought. And no more data mining by companies with dubious intentions.

The website has tabs for web searches as well as tabs for image and video searches. In November 2019, Startpage added a tab for news.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Sullivan|first=Laurie|date=21 November 2019|title=Bing Feeds News Through Privacy Search Engine, Ensures User Anonymity|url=https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/343662/bing-feeds-news-through-privacy-search-engine-ens.html|access-date=17 August 2020|website=Search & Performance Marketing Daily|publisher=MediaPost Communications|language=en}}</ref> According to the company, news searches are "not curated or personalized" and "every user who looks up the same term at the same time gets the same news".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Brinkmann|first=Martin|date=21 November 2019|title=Startpage launches News tab to help users escape filter bubbles|url=https://www.ghacks.net/2019/11/21/startpage-launches-news-tab-to-help-users-escape-filter-bubbles/|access-date=17 August 2020|website=Ghacks}}</ref>

In June 2022, the company added "[[Instant answer|Instant Answers]]", a feature that displays information directly on the search engine for topics such as weather, maps and Wikipedia. Unlike Google, Startpage doesn't offer "[[Google Knowledge Graph|featured snippets]]", which are answers extracted directly from relevant websites. In contrast, Startpage's "Instant Answers" only get information from a dozen websites.<ref>{{cite web |date=3 June 2022  |title=Instant Answers |url=https://support.startpage.com/hc/en-us/articles/5319208151444-Instant-Answers |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220604075804/https://support.startpage.com/hc/en-us/articles/5319208151444-Instant-Answers |archive-date=4 June 2022 |access-date=27 September 2022|website=Startpage.com |publisher=Startpage (owned by System 1)}}</ref>
