Anyone use this instead of google? i quite like the 'bang syntax'. Trialing for a week thought i would share.

First search for a hot football topic had the DM, Sports Illustrated, Yahoo and Bloomberg as the first four replies. I might be passing on this.

Not current enough to be honest.

I've been using it for the past year. If you don't get the results you like, just search it on google (encrypted) by typing "!g" before your search terms.

Yes, I use it a lot of the time. With addition of Google Search/Images Encrypted.

No point if you have to use another browser for things it doesn't find

It encrypts searches on other engines, you can also use it to search youtube by typing "!yt" before your search term (along with many other sites and search engines), very handy, and it stops Google tracking everything you search for.

This search engine is designed for people with privacy in mind, if you don't care about your online privacy, then obviously you'd be better off using something else.

I'd rather just use a vpn, less effort.
