5. Maybe your Google valve is stuck shut.

I've been using it off and on all day with no problem.

6. worked for me too

7. You get what you pay for with free services.

And in Google's case, you get the bonus of being cyber-stalked and your info sold to Russian and Chinese scammers.

10. maybe they're trying too hard to link everything in the universe

I like ixquick.com (Ixquick does NOT record your IP address !)

12. I've been using ixquick, instead of Google, most of the time.

Google appears to be weird for me today.
the main search page will come up, and it will produce a page of results, but then when I ciick on the results, nothing happened.

Fixed now, after all day, so I am going to edit the post to "resolved"

13. It might have been some type of gateway issue way out in Internet land

where it might have been a regional problem. Glad to hear it's working OK for you now. I'm going to explore ixquick some more.

14. Also, check out

StartPage.com
which ixquick points to as a non-tracking search engine.
I think ixquick offers the ability to be not tracked... but first you have to click on the "proxy" option below the result to be anonymous.

I do know that duckduckgo claims to be non-tracking totally.
( I know, silly name, eh?)

15. Will do. duckduckgo, yep, that is a silly name!
