For example, Wolfram Alpha runs circles around Google when it comes to research and calculations

https://duckduckgo.com/
DuckDuckGo doesn't track your IP address or search history so it can't be used in advertising or by authorities. This means you won't see targeted search results like you might on Google. This opens up more of the Web's resources. - See more at: http://www.komando.com/tips/index.aspx?id=13734#sthash.8ZuPAy8v.dpuf

This search site dumps this junk so you find your answer faster. You can nix ads from your search results, too. This is done from a privacy menu that lets you encrypt your search results and offers other security features.

Blekko gives you more relevant answers, too. It can tell the difference between words with multiple meanings. That means your search for "Android phones" won't lead you to links about robots!

If you like how quickly Blekko gives results, you can try IxQuick, too. It encrypts your search while giving you pre-approved results from other top search sites for a faster answer. You can rate results to help other searchers find what they're looking for faster, too.

Your number one concern when searching Google might be that it can return inappropriate content for innocent search terms. Yippy detects adult content and blocks it automatically. That makes it great for families. It can give you different results on mobile gadgets, too.

Sadly, Google is the default search engine on most tablets and smartphones. Instead, try Mazoom on smartphones and Izik on tablets. Both give you mobile-friendly results first. This helps you save on your data plan and makes pages load faster.

Remember, there are search engines for specific topics, too. When you're searching for jobs or stock information, use job boards or finance search engines instead of a regular site. Just remember to check the site's privacy policy before you give it your information.
