Sane alternatives to Google:
Ixquick ( total privacy is an option)
Duc duck go..sounds nutz, but it works and keeps NO records of searches
and
Startpage..".the worlds's most private search engine."
which I prefer.

StartPage gives you 100% real Google results in complete privacy.
When you search with Startpage, we remove all identifying information from your query and submit it anonymously to Google for you. We get the results and return them to you in total privacy.
