Is SearchOnSite safe?
SearchOnSite sets itself as the default search engine and sends usage IDs and browser details to its servers.
On install it opens searchonsite.com, reads tracking parameters from that page, and sets itself as the default search provider. It then posts a persistent ID, OS and browser details, and search counts to webinline-usage.streamesh.net, and sends a heartbeat to i.searchonsite.com every 4 hours. After the second search it also requests a postback URL supplied by the remote landing page; no page content or browsing history is collected.
