I also used DuckDuckGo for a while, and it's not a perfect replacement, either. DDG hides the "more results from this domain" feature behind mouse-over text. That means you have no idea which hit has more results until you mouse over each and every search result entry. Very annoying. Start Page doesn't even have a "more results from this domain" feature. While using either search alternative, I have had to rerun my search at Google because they did not return enough hits for my search terms. Most of the time, Google returns more hits. I don't like Google's see-all, know-all business philosophy, so I will continue to use alternatives, even if the results are not perfect. While we're talking about search engines, I highly recommend the Greasemonkey script called Google Hit Hider. It adds a Block button next to every search result in Google, DDG, Start Page, and many other search engines. Clicking Block lets you block the entire domain from ever appearing in future search results. I block spammer domains, search harvesters like generation-nt.com and serkey.com, sites that I just don't like or use (such as twitter.com), and foreign language sites such as linux-club.de.

Here's another one I just read about that claims to allow you to get search results from Google while protecting your privacy. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://startpage.com/eng/aboutstartpage/">https://startpage.com/eng/aboutstartpage/</a>? </blockquote> _______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:linux-user@egr.msu.edu">linux-user@egr.msu.edu</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user">http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user</a> </blockquote> </body> </html>
