Security in Web-searching
Ixquick is a great search engine whichj hides your searches and identity from the monopolistic owners of the "modern-day" search engine (e.g., Google, Yahoo!).
I have it now (in its advanced search form page) as the default "home page" for both of our Macs, and also added it as the ONLY search tool to use in the bookmarks bar's query box.
It's so much closer to the REGEX (REgular EXpressions) standard, wherein you can use combinations of { AND, +, OR, NOT, -, () } in a search query.
Unix/linux command line searches — using cat, grep, egrep, sed, ed, awk — allow piping ('|') and redirection ('>') of the output of one search as the input [in]to another search... thus, allowing a sequence which can be designed to hone in on exactly what you seek.
So-called "modern" GUIs intentionally hide how the search engine works so that it can slavishly-insert whored-to commercial interests and authoritarian-collaborating censoring of output, which distort the truth set of a search... the feigned tool then performs as an obedient puppet just as its psychopathic owner sees fit. "Computer science" is rendered a facade, a mere advertisement for its privatized substitute, as bait for blind belief.
Knowledge is dangerous when it's truthfully and scrupulously made available. Here, in the lies of the rulers of the once-public internet — what we already paid for now has privatizing owners taxing its further use via ISP fees — the "truth set" output by a "computer science" algorithm is thrown back at us with loads of obfuscating "data", redundancy, banalization... garbage so that its "truth set" remains "hidden in plain sight". Blatantly censoring is thus, camouflaged and legal. That's how a modern-day "liberal" (and "leftist") camouflages an inherent and core authoritarianism. A Microsoft example: instead of blatantly making the Wordperfect word processor run slower on Windows, the Microsoft anti-ethics "team" made all word processors run more slowly on their operating system, and then gave Microsoft Word an internal "performance tweak", thus remaining legal and true to their owner's psychopathy. It's the reason "liberalism" is histori-demonstrably pre-fascist; it is the "modern" political-economic excuse for monopoly capitalism.

Gibiru As Worthy Foe to Google's Fascism
Gibiru Search Engine Proxy & Alternative Search Engine

DuckDuckGo As Worthy Foe to Google's Fascism
Duck Duck Go combines a search engine’s algorithmic search technology with Wikipedia’s user generated content. They argue that the combination of these two technologies makes it quicker and easier for people to find what they want on the Internet. — from a review of DuckDuckGo

Ixquick As Worthy Foe to Google's Fascism
Your privacy is under attack!
Every time you use a regular search engine, your search data is recorded. Major search engines capture your IP address and use tracking cookies to make a record of your search terms, the time of your visit, and the links you choose — then they store that information in a giant database.
Those searches reveal a shocking amount of personal information about you, such as your interests, family circumstances, political leanings, medical conditions, and more. This information is modern-day gold for marketers, government officials, hackers and criminals — all of whom would love to get their hands on your private search data.
Why should you worry?
Major search engines have quietly amassed the largest database of personal information on individuals ever collected. Unfortunately, this data can all too easily fall into the wrong hands. Consider the following story:
In August 2006, the online world was jarred when AOL accidentally released three months' worth of aggregated search data from 650,000 of its users, publishing all the details in an online database.
That database is still searchable. It is an absolute eye-opener to see the potential for privacy nightmares.
