The search alternatives covered below include not only truly independent search sources but also secondary search services.

These secondary search services often depend on Bing or Google results that the service then filters and sorts differently than the source search indexes.

Another truly independent search engine is Gigablast, shown in Figure B which also serves as the source index for searches conducted at Private.

Figure C. What distinguishes DuckDuckGo and Startpage from their search data sources are their respective privacy policies: Both promise greater privacy and less tracking than Google or Bing.

Most major search and mapping services rely on these sources.

Which search engines or secondary search providers do you use regularly? Do you rely solely on Google or Bing for results? How often do you use additional sources, such as DuckDuckGo, Mojeek or WolframAlpha? Mention or message me on Mastodon to let me know your preferred search services.
