    The only way I know of to truly search without a trace is to physically relocate to geographically dispersed locations.

    This one is pretty good and it seems to be independent. Privacy policy looks OK. But it doesn't do image search.
    http://www.reallybigsearch.com/

    German metasearch. Doesn't use cookies or Session-IDs and doesn't store IP addresses. You can select the search engines it uses yourself.

    Another German metasearcher that doesn't store your information. And it does do image search as well.
    http://www.websynapse.de/

    An independent, small and not so good search engine that does do image search. But there is no information about their privacy policy.

    It may not be for everyone's taste but "alltheweb" (affiliated with yahoo thou) gives good results on papers/docx (specially researches) & image searches. Am still using it and my eldest use it too.

    Vivisimo the metasearch is also effective, to me.

    I was looking more carefully today inside Sapo.pt search engine and I noticed that all hyperlinks from the bottom of the page (after you searched for anything) have the following path (and you have to click them to switch the page and have more results):


    pesquisa.sapo.pt/search?base=Google&page=2&location=pt&st=web&channel=2006&slice=5&barra=mundial&q=Put here what you were searching!&limit=10


    So, that means, after all, they are also related to Google! I was wondering where did they get so many results.

    And judging for this hyperlink they are related, even if this is not explicit described anywhere. :p

    Hi there,

    Since the interest in search engines here in the Wilder's forum is quite a bit overwhelming, I would like to add something the most people are not aware of; the fact that the the Internet has two parts:
    Number one: the World Wide Web or www.com search on a daily basis
    Number two: the Invisible Web or Deep Web or also known as Hidden Web.
    The "normal" search engines DO NOT work in this web !!!! Why ??
    Read here:http://library.rider.edu/scholarly/rlackie/Invisible/Inv_Web.html

    Here some search engines for the Invisible Web you may try:

    Hi there,

    Social networks play a more and more important role in our daily life. To find personal information about someone we know or might to know is sometimes tricky and not an easy task. But there is help. Now we have special META SEARCH ENGINES for SOCIAL NETWORKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    You will be amazed what you can find about others on the web, but what about PRIVACY o_O It all begins with YOU !!!!! What YOU not put on the web is NOT easy to find about you. So, have a look.

    Hi there,

    Searching for information these days is much more difficult than ever before. Search engines are the tool to use, but... The leader in this field of daily use is still GOOGLE even not Privacy friendly. There are many other engines out there witch enables users for more specific search topics like music, videos and so on.
    The key is still to separate the waste of information from the nuggets YOU are looking for. The intelligence community has long ago developed software that better understand and present what is really important to find in the information jungle. Competitive Intelligence Software is one of this applications.
    This software is not cheap and not useful for every one.
    But sometimes luck is just around the corner.
    A free intelligence (semantic) search engine is available:
    www.cluuz.com
    Read carefully all the infos in order to understand how this amazing engine works and can provide you with " the gold that you are looking for".
    Good luck.
