One of the blogs in the MOOC this week talked about using the the goal / hybrid-search engine DuckDuckGo. http://duckduckgo.com/
Apparently, it has a transparent workspace minus the advertising and a clear privacy policy that guarantees anonymity of the searches and control of the browser settings. This may be why DuckDuckGo was in the list of top 50 Web sites conducted annually by Time magazine.
This is comforting in light of the new Google privacy policies going into effect tomorrow. Google isn't really free, we give up our personal information and the right to it's usage.
