search engines other than google

I want this thread to be a place where we talk about other search engines (no google, as it's too famous)

so who else uses a diffrent search engine

I like using ask.com a lot, also yahoo is good

came across one too called dogpile. not exactly the most used, but it finds what you need

Nice topic.

Generally I've found google to be on top of all the search engines. Any important websites appertaining to a particular subject immediately brought up the best sites on page 1.

I am unimpressed with Yahoo! search engines. All it came up with was a bunchg of trolls. Not good. Also, I found Bing pretty useless, so am happy just to stay with google, but I suppose everyone has their favourites, and if that is good for them, then all fine and dandy.

“Ask Jeeves” i think it is there is...

Anyone remember Netscape? MSN? And of course back in the Stone age there were AOL and Compuserve.

Also, prior to Wikipedia, there were online encyclopedias - most pay for service.

yep..... I remember MSN only too well!

getting in to a fight with a woman called margret on one of their groups because of differing political views

I am also unimpressed with bing

Nice to know I'm not the only one!

their is also 100 search engines search engine.

it searches 100 search engines to find what you are looking for

"Duck duck go" and "ghostery"

I occasionally use bing by mistake when I’m using edge.....

is edge a good brouzer

I have it on my computer but never launched it

just came standard with it

I use Ecosia since they donate some money to planting trees.

I'd second that duckduckgo.com is pretty good. Clean and simple while still doing the job.

I am using my android phone for all internet right now....
I am going to seriously gripe about google. There are some sites it brings up in it's search (conservative sites) it won't allow me to access. Dang it google if you don't want to take someone to a site DON'T bring it up in the search.

I have found BING for my phone works ok. I haven't really searched much for different search engines that work on android phones

I understand that DuckDuckGo doesn't track you as other do...

Norton Safe Search on Firefox. Pretty decent.

Inboxdollars. You get paid a penny every time you search

DuckDuckGo--it values privacy, unlike privacy; and it's pretty decent, too. I'd give it 8 out of 10.

Here in Europe searching seems to me to be a lot more circumscribed than it used to be. Regardless of what I use I get the same repetitive results, mostly ads, and I wonder if that's to do with privacy legislation.
In the "old days" for example, I searched someone who applied to work for me and quickly came up with a newspaper article that he wrote in high school which was fantastic. Now if I search people I ONLY come up with the businesses they might have owned. When I applied for a job once I came up with the employer being prosecuted on another continent for abduction!!! This is not personal privacy territory in my understanding. I used to like coming up with poetic connections to things, not just commercial ones .

I don't know if it's because now I use a cheap laptop which seems to be entirely circumscribed by Microsoft commercial interests? Sorry to slant off topic, but I detest having Microsoft choosing what browser I should use, that I should only backup to the cloud & etc.

All you guys who use other browsers, do you use them successfully on regular Microsoft-framework computers. or are you using open source??? I'm scared to even put Kaspersky and Firefox on Windows 10.
