http://www.duckduckgo.com" rel="nofollow - www.duckduckgo.com as a search engine,,?? Rush has recommended this in light of all the recent findings on google using and "fixing" your personal information on the web. Wikipedia has a very informative article on it and it looks to be gaining ground because of the recent news bout their questionable tactics,,,,???

 In July 2010, Weinberg started a DuckDuckGo community website (duck.co) to allow the public to report problems, discuss means of spreading the use of the search engine, request features, and discuss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-sourcing" rel="nofollow - open sourcing the code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo#cite_note-Community-29" rel="nofollow - [29] The next month, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Square_Ventures" rel="nofollow - Union Square Ventures invested in DuckDuckGo. Union Square partner Brad Burnham stated, "We invested in DuckDuckGo because we became convinced that it was not only possible to change the basis of competition in search, it was time to do it." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo#cite_note-Burnham13Oct11-30" rel="nofollow - [30] In addition, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisquel" rel="nofollow - Trisquel , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Mint" rel="nofollow - Linux Mint , and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midori_%28web_browser%29" rel="nofollow - Midori web browser switched to use DuckDuckGo as their default search engine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo#cite_note-31" rel="nofollow - [31] We didn't invest in it
because we thought it would beat Google. We invested in it because
there is a need for a private search engine. We did it for the Internet
anarchists, people that hang out on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit" rel="nofollow - Reddit and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_News" rel="nofollow - Hacker News .

I use to use one out of Canada, can't remember the name (as usual), but it was the cat's meow. FASSSSST and gave results that were EXACTLY what you were searching for. It got pulled and I sure miss it. It was Vroosh.com Maybe my memory isn't as bad as I think? ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
