What search engine will you turn to next?

I tried a few searches on Ixquick, and I’ve had the same experience, even with more obscure terms, I get at least a few commercial links before any useful stuff, and even the useful stuff isn’t particularly good.

Teoma, on the other hand is sometimes a good alternative to Google. It varies, though, for some searches it’s results are very relevent. My first impression was “woah”. However, after a few more searches, I did get a few duds. Commercial links are rather rare though. Compare the “national anthem” search:

On Google
On Teoma
On Ixquick

I’m not using any search engine that won’t let me do boolean searches.

(“sheila jeffries” or “sheila jefferies”) and not (“fairies” or “faeries” or “coloring” or “artist” or “wine” or “vineyard”) and (“author” or “book” or “published” or (“publication” and not (“Macmillan” or “mcmillan”)))
