I haven't made up my mind about ixquick.com yet. It returns a lot less results than the same search with Google, but sometimes they're more relevant. As for Scroogle: I get hanging connection a lot of the time. It doesn't matter how great a search engine is with your personal data, if it doesn't perform searches efficiently.

You can change your IXquick settings to show 100 results which is the same as Scroogle.

There's also a SSL Scroogle which can found at: https://ssl.scroogle.org/

I've tended to move towards IXquick but I've got Scroogle SSL in my Quick Search.

They're all good, but what's really needed is an (almost) exact replica of Google with the exact same results and thumbnails for videos etc. Maybe one that pulls the source code from Google and hard-codes all of the URLs to images etc. That would be good XD

Great, thank you both for the links. I also started using the Firefox keyword bookmarks feature for Scroogle's searchbox.

I've been using http://www.bing.com/ since its launch in June-2009 and quite happy with it

If you go to manage search engines and click search for more search engines you'll get over 600 results returned. I went through a few pages. Too many to chose from for me right now. Have a look at those.
