Is Quick Search Tool safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Quick Search Tool is high risk. Every time you search using Quick Search Tool's built-in search provider, your query is sent to query.quicksearchtool.com with a set of persistent tracking parameters appended — including a UUID assigned to you at install time, your install date, and a hardcoded source identifier. Our dynamic analysis captured two separate searches (<planted-marker> and test_query_two) and confirmed the same UID appeared in both requests, demonstrating that the identifier persists across sessions and ties your search history together over time.
