You could also use http://uk.ask.com/?o=312l=sem

I did not understand what the ordering of the 'accept-language'  is ...
But your link is OK. Thanks, i will give it a test.

Try getting it from this page (use one of the versions with the A9 logo):

That did it!  Thanks.  I try to avoid Google and Microsoft products 
when I can.

Ask has its share of problems too... their intrusive toolbar foistware
business model, for one. But they have their good points too.

Some other general search engines that might be worth a look:

http://duckduckgo.com/
http://blekko.com/
https://startpage.com/

Blekko and Duckduckgo both have good support for Mozilla browsers. DDG
even has a link  (in the unobstrusive lower-right corner) to add it to
your search box, with SSL, no less. Blekko has an (experimental) search
add-on for Firefox that makes so-called instant search even more
powerful. Unfortunately, it's Firefox-only so far...

DuckDuckGo has a particularly good privacy policy. Blekko's is more
standard, similar to other major search engines like Ask and yes, Google
and Bing.

Start Page is essentially an anonymizing proxy for Google -- you use
Google for searches, but they don't know who is the user, so they can't
either direct targeted ads or tailor the search results for you,
avoiding the so-called search bubble.

Do you experience any different (and more acceptable) results
if you change the ordering of your accept-language headers
to rank English above French and Flemish ?
