I'm in a worse situation. I still go to Yahoo every day out of habit going back to the nineties. I instantly regret it every time I do it.

You know what? I tried it, and even though it's dated, it gave me better results that google.

Hard to believe it's still around. But then so is AOL.com.

hehe, just for fun I tried prodigy.com (wasn't there) but holy shit compuserve.com was!

I've used Startpage for a year or more on my main computer and it works okay.

But if anyone has any tips for a search engine that actually supports queries with boolean logic and such, I'd be all for it. Lately they all seem to just not do that anymore.

I vastly prefer a search engine in the EU, that respects the privacy laws here.

I use Google search when I want to buy something, for some reason, it gets good résultats when I want to buy from my country. but if you want reliable results for a product review, you have to look elsewhere.
