    Search Engine: DuckDuckGo

    If any of you are looking for alternatives to Google for your web searches, DuckDuckGo is an interesting option:

    http://duckduckgo.com/

    ...and they offer an SSL connection for those that prefer it:

    https://duckduckgo.com/

    I've been playing with it some and so far the speed and search results seem to be pretty good.

    Requiring javascript to see my results is an instant deal-breaker.

    Yeah, I had been using Ixquick as an alternative but DuckGo feels faster and it seems to give more accuracy in search results, at least so far. Think I'll keep using it for a while.
