Alternative Search Engines for Google !

01-DuckDuckGo

Concerned about online privacy? DuckDuckGo prides themselves as being the search engine that does not track or personalize your searches and results. They even offer handy visual guides on Google tracking and filter bubbling.

02-Now Relevant

Tired of stale search results? NowRelevant attempts to give you only results from the last two weeks on your search query. I say attempts because my test searches seemed to be more from the last six months, but it’s still better than getting results from six years ago. Hopefully that will be worked out once they are out of beta.

03-Dogpile

If you want results from the top three search engines, but don’t want to go to them individually, tryDogpile. It’s results are pulled from the top three search engines “without all the mess.”

04-Blekko

Want spam free search results? Blekko‘s mission is to provide a differentiated, editorial voice in search. They look for quality over quantity, source based authority over link based, removes sites whose primary purpose is monetization over information, and uses human curating through the use of user tags.

05-WolframAlpha

Looking for a search engine based on computation and metrics? Try WolframAlpha. It will give you website data, historical information by date, unit conversions, stock data, sports statistics, and more. You can see examples by topic to learn more.

06-Joongel

Want to search ten sites at a time? Check out Joongel. While it doesn’t always get things right, it does give you some great ideas of sites to search under various categories including the ones shown above plus analytics, local, finance, and jobs.
