Unfortunately most alternative SEs still purchase their search results from the big ones like Google and Bing. I started using Ixquick and then switched to the go go Duck, but haven't done any research into that subject for 2 years since I knew the EU was going to make things tough on them. Now I'm waiting on the fall out to settle. I still pose the question though. Is it just a search engine when they dictate what should be in your publication? That is like a war correspondent reporting events on the beach while the battle takes place in the City.

Is Google evil? That may depend on your perspective. I think they are just greedy. Never mind if the info is accurate; get that money!
