Alternative search engines

[John Geraghty]

I am hoping that members will inform me of a good alternative to google. Given what we have learned from their selective searching, I feel that they no longer merit our business.

The cases of Les Albiston and Bernardo De Torres ar only two of the examples found on the spartacus sites that have had their links removed from the google database, one would assume that we are being deprived of a lot of other valuable information.

Let us find a search egine of equal capacity, but with more integrity.

Suggestions please

In the case of Les Albiston, AltaVista, Yahoo, All the Web, Netscape, MSN, AOL Search, and LookSmart did not remove my page from their databases. By the way, my page on Les Albiston it is now back to number one at Google.
