i'd love to know about google competitors.

it's just that any new one i try is either already owned by google, is using someone else's results, is doing stupid stuff like planting trees meant to distract us from real solutions to global warming, etc.

i thought some smart people would get together, get some funding, spin up a search engine in a couple of days using the cloud, and see if there was something there.

wonder what keeps that from happening.

privacy maybe?
