Getting by without Google - Business of Life - livemint.com:
DuckDuckGo
MillionShort
millionshort.com
MillionShort is a customized overlay that uses Google’s search to get your results. The site helps you get to search results that most people never see, and since it is MillionShort that is doing the searching, the results are unfiltered, with no user history determining the order of results.
Gibiru
gibiru.com
Gibiru and MillionShort have quite a bit in common. Both utilize the traditional Google search algorithm, rather than brand new search technologies. However, at heart they both offer a whole new way of searching the Web. MillionShort’s aim is exploring the unknown by skipping the top-ranked results; Gibiru is about anti-government policing, anti-personalization and user anonymity.

Sometimes framing a search can be complicated. And if you’ve tried to frame it as a simple question, then you usually get links to Yahoo! Answers, wikiHow and random, obscure forums that still don’t answer the question.
Then there are queries where you need to analyse dozens of links and compile the information to get a relevant answer.

Google’s ubiquity has another problem which is not focused on as often as the privacy concerns their advertising programmes raise. The fact is that as the biggest search engine, Google is a target for anyone who wants to make a quick buck on the Web.
DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo is a little like the first-generation Google. There are no blogs or books, or dedicated video services. There are no image-search options and no one is coming up with a new doodle for every day of the year.
