Search Engine

[Horizon170]

I have GOOGLE as my search engine and want to replace it.
My reasons are private.
Any suggestions?

I've been Google-phobic for many years.
My 'basic' search engines are ixquick, Startpage and Duckduckgo. I do use Google and Bing at times, but very seldom.
I also generally use a usb mounted PuppyLinux as the OS, unless I'm in an unknown area, then I use a CD mounted Puppy.

I use Opera browser with DDG! Opera also saves data usage!

I use Dogpile and have for years.

I switched to Start Page and what i found is they only show you about 20% of the results vs google and it seems like what you do get is not current. Search for breaking news and many times all you can get is results from a year ago.

Even just looking up for a business' half of the business in an area will not show up. You wouldn't know that unless you were aware that there definitely where more. Google the same and all of them show up.
They are providing only safe non tracking sites which let's be honest 98% of them do so they don't show them on a search.

Went back to google with a clear history after each search. Think I will give that duck duck one a try though.

I use FireFox too but I just changed my home page to DuckDuckGo and it seems to be a good search engine.
Thanks everyone.
