I was reading a thread elsewhere today about Google offering encrypted search and someone mentioned that they have been using Duck Duck Go (don't you just love the name?) recently because they offer more privacy than Google.
I tried a few searches and liked it. There does seem to be a stronger emphasis on keywords in domains than in Google.
Less ads, too. Interesting. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Could Duck Duck Go give Google a run for its money? I just tried this one out and like the results a little. I stumbled up an affiliate link indexed in there though, other then that, very good results for the term i used. One thing i just found upon searching there blog was this blog post below.
Care about search privacy? Use Duck Duck Go!
I am going to have to test this search engine out for more then a few minutes to see if i really like it more then google. I spend a lot of time searching the search engines for information everyday. It has a good feel......like the snake says...have to use it a little to see how the results are..... This is a new one for me. I saw your mention of it in the WPW newsletter, and decided to check it out. I like what I see so far. I'm definitely going to use it for a while, and see how it works out. Nice and clean.
I found a plagiarized copy of an article of mine in the results. Guess what I did next. it looks good i will investigate it more, thanks it is really very strong. after spending 20 min on it i changed it to be my default. but the bad news that my sites are not there even in my most powerful keywords Hahaha I just checked it out, and some of our keywords rank better on there than Google, so I kind of like.
But it looks clean as well.
I just don't think it will really give Google a run for it's money, there have been other SE's like this that thought they would, and didn't even become a blip on the radar.
And also, when Bing first came around, people thought it was going to explode and take practically all of the Google people.
But that definitely wasn't the case at all.
And Google considers Bing a referring site, not an se.
Just a fun fact.
Cool. I'm up to try anything that gives me better privacy than what Google offers. They are after getting too big for their boots IMO.
