List of Best Search Engines on the Web I found - and use daily!
Yes, independent from Google's algorithm recent changes. No search engine like Google with its 'right thinking' sites prioritizing at the forefront of results. Without Google+ biased social results (read: spam). - And no malwares like on Google, and no ads like on .. You see?
The very bests (I think) are at the top:
* Lukol : http://www.lukol.com/ - anonymous search, Google custom search via proxy, so no IP, no cookies, image search too.
* Gibiru : http://gibiru.com/ - uncensored anonymous search , no IP, no cookies.
Gibiru - Anonymous HTTPS - 128-bit encryption: https://anonymous-gibiru.com/ - more anonymity.
* 1Scroll: http://1scroll.com/ (with WOT implemented on ALL results) * Privatelee (with WOT implemented on the first 10 results only): https://privatelee.com/ * Qrobe: http://qrobe.it/ (with WOT implemented on the first 15 results only)
* Ahdle: http://ahdle.com/ (Family Friendly, but with WOT problems recently ..)
* DuckDuckGo (with WOT here): https://duckduckgo.com/?kf=fw&kh=1&k1=-1 - don't track or bubble you!
* Bing: http://www.bing.com/ - with shot of the day on the search page, results like ancient Google: relevants only. No ads, no social spam, no malware.
Bing (English) : http://www.bing.com/?scope=web&mkt=en-us&scope=web - English edition only on MT here. Bingo! ---> works NO MORE now. The Bing language detection is done based on IP .. sadly!
