Been using bing for a while. A lot of people like duckduckgo it is apparently based off actual searches and ranked that way, not based off what google thinks you are looking for

duckduckgo.com

But, even that one seems to censor stuff.

I've done searches on it for stuff that I've posted repeatedly at GLP, and ... nothing.

Bing works well and gives way more sexy and randy results than Google does these days

I dunno about that part but I did read that google changed their algorithms again last year in a "not internet censorship" run.

Where as before you could search for "boobs" now you apparently have to be more direct in your search terms. (I.e. naked asian boobs)

 Quoting: GhostProphet


Yeah switch to BING.
Google is massively manipulating the results you receive....ESPECIALLY if it is even remotely related to politics.
Do some comparative searches and you will see it for yourself.
Sickening.

It's clear Google is now working for / beholden to the Obama administration.

[link to search.disconnect.me] is good.

It utilizes your choice of 5 (incl duckduckgo,google,bing..) search engines, but removes you from any tracking, cookies, etc by executing the query from their ip address, parsing out the promotional stuff and returning the results to you.

Re: Is there any good search engine NOT powered by Google ?
I've been using yahoo since it existed, god I get sick of hearing people say "Just Google IT".

I use Firefox with Ghostery so i don't get all the malware, tracking, bug infused links on searches.

Once I turn Ghostery off it is utterly assinine all the tracking and malware and fake links that exist.

And for god's sake don't use Microsoft IE....

Google and facebook tracking across all platforms and injecting code on millions of computers and smartphones should and hopefully will be Illegal one day.

 Quoting: GhostProphet


They have been actually making some words only apply to one thing. Apparently the claim is that the purpose is to block child porn, but its very unlikely that they haven't done severe damage to searches with this kind of censorship. If I remember right chicks is one of the keywords that has been modified in this way.
