www.startpage.com...

It is a search engine that respects your privacy and doesn't collect any information or personalize results.

I have given up and gone back to google. but i appreciate the ideas. I just wonder if those leave out too many searches?

Cool thread!!

I like trying new search engines. It is amazing what you find on some that are not on others.

I use to use webcrawler before I ever heard of Google.

Webcrawler
I haven't used it in a while though and it looks very different compared to when I use to use it.

It was the only search engine I knew at the time.

I will be book marking these search engines!

Gibiru.com respects privacy issues and I've seen it listed and have used it as well Startpage or its sister Starting page. they both respect privacy concerns as well.

Scroogle
Startpage

These are the two I prefer on a daily basis.
After learning what ad-tracking was about 6 years ago, I've never looked back.

Don't need an algorithm telling me what is good for me to look at.
Of course, there's tracking everywhere...
But at least you can try to clean a slate once in a while.
