Preferred Search Engine
Do you still use Google search these days?

I've pretty much stopped using Google now.  I find I generally switch between DuckDuckGo and Scroogle.

DuckDuckGo seems to be based of Bing search primarily, but does have some nice additions, like Wikipedia/WolframAlpha stuff at the top.

Scroogle seems to be just a more private version of Google, although it seems to lack some of Google's features.  Useful for when Google returns more stuff than Bing.
Just found Ixquick which looks pretty nice and probably better than Scroogle, plus has image search.  Will need to try it out.


I've also noted some other search engines, some even giving out small payments for using them (though you'll probably only make $1 after like 10,000 search maybe).
I only use Google these days for:
- location based searches (ie find stuff in local area, since Google adjusts results depending on where you are)
- Google translate and cache, since I can't find any other service as good

And of course, their various other stuff, like Youtube, GMail etc, mainly asking about their search.

I love google I get all my funny business done there its like walking into a shopping center were everything is free.
I have it integrated with my url bar so if I don't type .com at the end it will search my text on google.

RE: Preferred Search Engine
Most alternative search engines have a quick way to add to Firefox (IDK about other browsers).

Google's not bad, though I find they're getting a fair bit of sPa/\/\ results more lately.
Ixquick is pretty much Google without their tracking garbage.

TRY DUCKDUCKGO TOO!

Do you have to like post some meme picture every time you make a post?

We're not a kids community here, we won't think you're a super-awesome-1337-p0n0r if you post cat pictures everywhere.

If you want people to think you're awesome for posting cat pics, go to 4chan or Gaia.
