DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo is an internet search engine which does not track or profile its users and which does not collect or share its users' personal information with third parties. It is a privacy enhancing alternative to other search engines like Google, Bing or Yahoo. DuckDuckGo does not provide personalised search results, but rather shows all users the same search results for a given search term.
