I use google search all day every day. On those occasions when I want to do a search and not have it end up in advertiser databases, I switch to duckduckgo.com.

Do you HN'ers generally consider DuckDuckGo to be trustworthy for search queries of a private nature?

I personally take them at their word about privacy -- there doesn't seem to be much choice to do otherwise. And it's easy to add !g to a search to send it over to google when better search results are required. Actually it's really convenient to be able to do !gm for google maps, !wa for Wolfram Alpha or use any number of other bang commands.
