Anyone know of a really crisp way to search Google in privacy?

I always use DuckDuckGo

They're not bad, I just never felt the need previously to drill through three different engines and never got around to using them. Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo also just failed the test.

mo lay tau (into DuckDuckGo)
"Sorry, no results here."

And to be honest it's "not that hard of a test", Stephen Chow made the concept famous for years starting in the 1990's after Tiannamen Square, and with the right spelling, there's plenty of material. Luckily in this case, had I really worked at it, there's a "back door", via Wiki.
"Throughout the 1990s, Chow made lots of famous movies and his movie style became known as Mo lei tau". But the "interesting stuff" aspect is when there isn't. If you don't know how to spell something, that's the weakness of engines unless they have really good guesses.

^ https://startpage.com/ works better I find - but very occasionally, I do have to go back to google or bing.

With StartPage, this thread was #3 (!) and this was #6 when I searched mo lay tau:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_lei_tau


EDIT// and ^that's^ better results than google :Thmbsup:

Well I had gotten that far, but maybe it's preference, one wiki result buried in the middle of other stuff, vs a suggestion to re-search so that all the results come back relevant-ish.

So it looks like I found an interesting test case.

I'll have to poke around on it a bit here and there.
