Someone started a post on here y'day that got some responses which made mention of alternative search engines with no ulterior motives behind them.
I'd be interested in trying them out.

I was stupid and didn't take note, and now I can't remember the exact post.

Would someone be so kind as to redirect me or furnish me with the info direct, please?

Thank you

More Google paranoia? ๐Ÿ™„

Every search engine is out there to make money. Search trends are one of the main ways they do this.

At least Google gives me the option to clear my search history and opt out of targeted advertising etc. Most search engines do not.

Heard about this new seach engine, [url= http://www.wolframalpha.com/ ]Wolfram Alpha[/url] a few months ago. It's meant to be revolutionary or something but I can't remember why. It's not actually live until May. There are a few articles on it
