+Seetheworldsecond Subscriber¹ Posted October 14, 2011 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 14, 2011 unfortunately, they just don't exist. google is king. Agreed, Google is indeed King and provides the best search results, far more superior than bing or yahoo.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anibal P Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 unfortunately, they just don't exist. google is king. This, people need to get over it, Google is THE search engine to use, and people need to get off this "Google is Evil" BS, all companies want your information to do whatever with it, no one but you cares about your "privacy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingbird Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 There's only one real alternative: Bing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted October 14, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 14, 2011 google gives me the most relevant hits on the topic I am looking for. I have tried many and have always returned to google....I used to like webcrawler when the interwebz was in its infancy, lycos too, even ask jeeves (which is now just ask). I have always dispised yahoo and aol search, talk about tons of irrelevant hits at the top..bing isn't much better. farmeunit 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Bing has been impressing me lots since I got my Windows Phone, I still think Google is better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra.Xtreme Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Bing and Yahoo are pretty much the only quality alternatives. I don't see why Google wouldn't give the best results though. It just honestly does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakem1 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I prefer the results I get from Bing. Google is just irritating to use (especially that useless Google Instant) and the quality of the results is poor. I'm tired of getting multiple links to the same crap sites from Google.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted October 14, 2011 Supervisor Share Posted October 14, 2011 Bing and Yahoo are pretty much the only quality alternatives. I don't see why Google wouldn't give the best results though. It just honestly does. isn't the yahoo search run by Bing now though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meena Bassem Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 an alternative to google? is is a joke? well, you may try yahoo,bing,ask, and some other crap, but as i've just said. all nothing but total crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Til I Die Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Maybe I'm paranoid but does the "DG" in your username stand for "DuckGo" ... spam?? :p Anyway, Google is by far the best search engine in my experience....and I've used them all Dogpile, Ask Jeeves, Lycos, Yahoo, Bing.. Google takes the cake :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted October 22, 2011 Supervisor Share Posted October 22, 2011 There are search engines other than Google? I can't understand why people want to move away from something when it's "mainstream." There is a reason that Google is popular, it provides the best results. EDIT: Maybe I'm paranoid but does the "DG" in your username stand for "DuckGo" ... spam?? :p Ha, being the cynical person I am, the same thought passed through my mind when I was reading this...

Gerowen Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 https://www.duckduckgo.com is a good one, and doesn't change the priority of search results based on your personal search history. https://www.blekko.com is another good one that uses something called "slash tags" extensively to allow you to customize your search results.
