>>The world’s most private search engine.<<

I used to use startpage but it returns the same results as Google, which are now under-useful.

duckduckgo so far looks great.

Try UUSENET — you might need UUENCOCE/UUDECODE which you can get using Gopher.

Here is what I learned today about search engines
A site called Startpage uses Google’s algorithms. But is a private way to search the net. It had a sister site Ixquick that used non Google algorithms but it now redirects to Startpage.
Duck Duck Go does not use Google, but it uses Bing mostly. It is also private.
Yandex is also not using Google.
