You should also check Cthuugle for all your ancient blasphemy search needs. It's the search engine that man was not meant to know, the cyclopean tomb where you can search for nameless tomes.

Good question OakdaleFTL, a tricky one... but I'm afraid that's about men induced social values as modesty, not about God's nature.
However, since we are made in His image apparently a few problems arise... I'll let the vibrant Protestant theology answer to that... or even the atheist "theodenialogy".

Hi,
I also think Bing is very good. It seems to do what Google does and more. It also looks better. I think maybe the amount of people who use Bing is increasing rapidly whilst the amount of Google users is quite constant, so Bing will eventually catch up and overtake.

Go Bing!

It might be decent for English/American searches, but it sure isn't for Dutch.

Bing has a long way to go.

i suspect most of it's 20ish%, or whatever it is now, of the search queries come from people unable or unwilling to change the search toolbar in IE.

I don't know too much about it, but as far as I know, search engines identifies the IP and the related searches, meaning a number and a list of data. The main problem starts with those companies that provides the internet access. Those can identify IP and the related user's identity. And they do it.
