Google's plan is to find out everything they can about you. And I think even the emo kid blogging on myspace might hesitate to have all that info kept and neatly stored for the rest of their life.

Their vision is where they know everything about everybody.

So, the question is - what's the best search engine excluding google?

I agree! If someone has a good tip for which alternate search engine to prefer, I'll switch to it asap. I'm a bit tired of the policies of google. Boycott is unfortunately the only way a customer can influence a company's policy.

Google could at least have the option to turn on/off the collecting of personal info.
