If you don't like that Google sponsored the Republican debate, you can use Duck Duck Go.

1. Already have it.
Don't use it as often as I could, but it definitely cuts through the bs Google page rank system.

2. Thanks!
I think it's ultra-creepy that Google remembers things I searched for 3 years ago and prompts me with them and/or shows links that I visited 3 years ago as already visited, even though I've cleared my browser history! And I've noticed that Google delivers different results for the same exact search phrase depending on what computer you're doing the search from! That's creepy too. Plus I don't like the fact that people can ready my pages on Google without ever going to my site. Google must be the world's largest copyright violator.

4. Duck Duck Go is good, but my favorite Google replacement is IXQuick...
Search results are at least as good, often better than Google's, and they are hard-core champions of internet privacy. They are also one of the only search engines that places no cookies on your machine, and does not record your searches.

www.ixquick.com

They are worth checking out.
