Search engine alternatives to Google


Recommended Posts

Either I wasn't paying attention before (entirely possible) or Google recently became more bold about listing ads at the top of their search results. Now it seems that all my searches have ads as the first 3-4 results. Maybe it's always been like this and they just labelled them as ads so it's more visible. Anyways, I think that's kinda bullshit and I don't like having to scroll past 4 ads to get to the first "true" search result which is probably still a paid manipulation of their algorithms.

Does anyone recommend another search engine? Duckduckgo claims to be good for privacy or there's always Bing. Any opinions on using those as a default search engine?

I've been using DuckDuckGo mostly exclusively for a couple of years.  I don't believe I'm giving up much or anything in terms of search.  It doesn't do collateral things, except give amazon results for "shopping," which is ok.  But you can't do collateral things without spying.

I expect that bing is as invasive as google, if not quite as successful.
