Try search.yahoo.com I find it quite good. In some nichees Yahoo is far better than Google (won't mention them because I am a tinfoil hat privacy freak, sorry). Also it seems to index XML (eg when used with XSLT) much more likely than Google.

In terms of supporting someone else, I think Yahoo is better than Microsoft, who I still don't trust all that much.
