I either use DuckDuckGo or if it doesn't return relevant results, I use Google in private mode. Private mode obviously doesn't help much (they can easily connect me to my Google Account), but Google does have the years of development behind it.



I've had good luck with Bing, so now I use that as my fallback.

But honestly, simply forumulating a query appropraiately can help.

Pagerank basically lets you use search terms like circles on a Venn diagram - whatever's in the intersection floats to the top.

DDG requires a little more effort. Putting quotes around words that group together, using - to exclude large chunks of.

I find when I "search like it's 1999" DDG does fine.
