I found DuckDuckGo annoying for some reason. But I rather like ixquick.
My problem with DDG, which is my default search engine on many of my devices, is its inability sometimes to rank what I'm looking for ahead of stuff that seems to completely fail my search terms. So I have to scroll down a bit to find the thing Google will put up near the top (even when not logged into Google). Not that google search is perfect, it isn't.
Even still, DDG is good enough most of the time, so I haven't switched back, but I'll give your suggestion some testing.
One caveat re ixquick: Just went back to it (been using Bing mostly, to avoid Google), and discovered it was coming up with websites that threw up malware pages that you couldn't get out of: "Your Mac is infected with . . . " stuff, like you see on PCs. This rarely happens with Bing. Guess I'll go back.
