Search Engines- DuckDuckGo

After completing the same search in eight different search engines, I can see which engines are most useful.  I usually only use Google and maybe yahoo to do my searches.  After doing an exercise in my graduate class I can see that other good search engines exist.  The engine I have never heard about but I am going to be using more often is www.DuckDuckGo.com

DuckDuckGo does not collect or share personal information.  This search engine does not save your search history, store your I.P. address, or tie your cookies together.  This means you do not get targeted advertising and targeted searches.

I found this search engine gave me some of the best material I needed.  This is a website that should be shared with others. 

Here is some info from their site:

DuckDuckGo is a general purpose
search engine like Google or Bing.
  • Get way more instant answers     Zero-click info above the links (red box).   • Less spam and clutter     We ban those useless sites with just ads.   • Lots and lots of goodies     Special searches (tech), syntax & settings.   • Real privacy     We don't track you!  (Illustrated guide.)
