No poll. I use https://encrypted.google.com/ for searches. I'm considering switching to DuckDuckGo though I just want to research a bit more on DDG and how it works.
Re-posting this to be a bit more complete... Usually Google SSL, sometimes DuckDuckGo (which is enhanced by Bing). And several other "specific" search engines like About.com.
I would have thought there would be a lot more Ixquick and DDG users. With Ixquick I should have included Startpage / StartingPage. Google has more votes so far than all the other options combined.
Bing. Since Bing and Yahoo! have the same results and Bing's homepage is less annoying. Google has more results but I don't feel some of those results should be online to begin with.
I wonder why no SSL. Google said that when they implemented SSL there was virtually no performance hit - it accounted for something like 1% of their total load.
I usually have DDG (SSL) set as my default browser (an about:config job in Firefox!) with Start Page as my homepage (depending on browser). I am experimenting with Qrobe.it at the moment.
