  So the lesson here is, don't use Bing and don't use GoOgle.  I have software and secure DNS servers that has prevented me from going to infected websites on several occasions, and I'm talking about some well known websites.  Once I was blocked from going to an infected page on PcWorld, and a few days later PcWorld announced that some of their pages were hacked with malware.  Nowwhodathunkit? 

  As far as search engines, DuckDuckGo, Blekko, BlackBoxSearch and DogPile are some good ones that don't track you.

Nice list. I have been using Startpage but I'm not so thrilled with their results. I'll have to try a couple of those.

  I normally use DuckDuckGo.  It's fast and has absolutely NO ADS!  Blekko is really good too, and only has ONE AD, and it's at the bottom of the page.  lol

I used to use DuckDuckGo, but I found that it didn't find a surprising number of relevent sites that Bing and Google found.  I switched to Bing, but I often have to use Google, since it finds a lot of stuff that I'm looking for that I don't find on Bing.  I wish I could be more specific, but I no longer recall the details.  However, it happened often enough so that I now use Google a lot more.

BlackBoxSearch.com is a maker of optical fiber test equipment.  BlackBoxSearch.org and BlackBoxSearch.net go to an employment site.  Do you have a URL for the BlackBoxSearch service?

I like the arguments you can pass into DuckDuckGo with your search term, i.e., "Mark Zuckerberg !g" to search first on Google, or "Dungeons & Dragons !w" to search about AD&D on Wikipedia.

  I'll be darned, looks like they done got eaten up by GoOgle, since that's the only link provided for a search.  Either way, I'm deleting that from my bookmarks. 

At least http://search.yacy.net/, http://www.dogpile.com/ and http://www.yebol.com/ are still doing their thing.  Another good one is http://www.wolframalpha.com/ , a Computational Knowledge Engine.  Click on the "Examples" link and see the immense Knowledge Base for making specific searches.

I couldn't get yebol to come up. Mamma is still there, though...

Maybe cause Microsoft don't really take care of the results like Google do (Google probably only do so because of "peer pressure"

  Yebol was just working the other day, right now it's having some kind of Failure to Connect to Web Server problem.  I wonder if GoOgle bought them out as well....

  Never heard of Mamma.com before, but I've got her it bookmarked now.

Instead of telling people at work to Google such-and-such, I like to tell them to Momma-it. I get all kinds of strange looks. Some of them seem to say, I'm sure he means something sexual by that, but I'm not sure what. I'm sure not gonna ask and make myself look stupid. But I'll get the sideways grins, and sometimes someone elbows another worker and winks, "Momma-it, get it?"
