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". -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
