I'm not saying they're better but there are alternatives to Google that address specific concerns. For example, DuckDuckgo seems to be getting some traction with their promise to give you privacy.
That pitch resonates with a lot of people. I hope they don't do something that would degrade our trust in that. I think they have a future.
Whether their seach measures up to Google's I don't know. I'm guessing they're not there yet as Google is good but they'll get there and if they stay true to their vision, they'll win over a lot of people. I worry because there are a lot of temptations that could throw a company off it's core promise, especially a solemn promise to protect your privacy, while others offer money to go different directions.
