@MediaActivist When your search engine isn't a search engine but just an advertising machine it's time to move on.
I've hardly ever used Google. I always thought it was a stupid name, like Yahoo and their search engine. I used to use Altavista, because at least that was a halfway cool name.
Now I use Startpage, BUT, in my defense they used to be Ixquick, so you can see why I chose them over all the others.
