So far Bing has been ok


I've removed Bing because it was intrusive and kept trying to take
over my search tools. o_O


Not my experience. I don't have a "list" of search engines though.

I try to look at a lot of different sources for information. Google has
the paid results at the top of the results page so I go down several
sites in the listings, copy the URL and paste it in the address bar of a
blank tab instead of clicking on it. This prevents the double click crap
and pages of popups that have nothing to do with my search. Lets say you
wish to look up the etymology of the word "dick". The first sites will
pop up like Amazon, "dick"? we have plenty of "dick" in stock for
immediate delivery. You can go to the first site that pops up in your
search and site will list a bunch of crap that you aren't looking for.
It's that pay per click nonsense. o_O
