Search Bubble

I am a fan of Google. I will admit that. I use them for all my info searches. But I should be aware that as Google tracks my searches and my likes, etc, the filter bubble I'm creating by liking things will affect the results I get. There's an info-graphic reminding me about this created by a Google competitor (I'll keep the source in mind too). So I thought I'd just stop by here and list a few other search engines to try whenever I'm getting too Google focused.

• blekko.com- uses slash tags to curate
• duckduckgo.com- says it doesn't use filters based on your preferences for bias free results
• dogpile.com- a metasearch engine

I need to keep in mind that there are other search engines that search a defined area, such as just Jobs, or just Real Estate. Wikipedia has a list of these specific search engines.

You may note that Bing and Yahoo are not on here. I don't Bing and while the Yahoo interface is nice, as I understand, the results come from Bing.
