What Search Engine Do You Use?
With all the google junk in the news recently, I have dumped it off my iphone and other computers. Currently using Bing and it seems quite capable.

I mostly use this one...
DuckDuckGo
The search engine that doesn't track you.
If that doesn't find it then I go to Bing and then to Google.

Yes, also altavista, hotbot, excite, inktomi (powered yahoo!)
Search is one of my areas of interest, I have an index running with 100 million pages. It delivers "old school" results, not 5 links to google owned properties and five links to amazon. I may roll it out one day.

I started out using hotbot, and ended up preferring altavista (after discovering Boolean searches)

Google is moneying themselves into something ridiculous with the first page showing amazon and other contracted interests. It had come to the point of me just clicking (iphone) the second page.

Most people don't know they are clicking on ads, especially on small screens (phones), a lot of their revenue is what they call "inadvertent clicks", of course, I call it fraud.
They have also buried most small businesses/sites in search results while showing their silicon valley pals. Beyond that, they are really just a surveillance company, selling everything they can collect from users.

wow. Most people never even scroll through the first page, they click the first or second available link (typically ads).
