I like http://duckduckgo.com.

Many of the rest rehash Google et al.

For the most complete answer, ask Google the question. Google knows everything.

I like using duckduckgo.com since it's fast and I don't get all the junk that Google and Bing sling my way. I don't want graphics or a bunch of paid suggestions, all I want is the top search results for the terms I put in.

Before you accuse me of wearing a tin hat read a bit about why DuckDuckGo is popular because of how they DON'T track you and thus how they don't alter your search results. I don't want a my search engine to predetermine where to get my answers from based on what it thinks I want to hear because of past searches. Take a few minutes to read DDG's site called dontbubble.us as it does a great job explaining why it makes since.

Now if if you are looking at the roll of aluminum foil and thinking maybe you should google how to make a hat read their Privacy Statement then you might want to read donttrack.us website too.

Bottom line for me is I get less garbage with DDG and I get my results faster.
