Google Search has been the dominate search engine for years and has set the standard for SEO practices. Then there's the up-and-coming DuckDuckGo, a search engine that champions privacy in the digital age. Does it have what it takes to take down the Search Engine King?

Do you know about a compiler site with several search engines on one page?

Hey Lyceum,

I have not heard of or know about compiler sites with several search engines on one page. If you have information on that topic, it would be really interesting to learn about it.

Thank you,

Google's core business is to track you, in order to serve you with contextual ads. I am using DuckDuckGo now and then, to see a different kind of search result.

Yeah it is interesting to see what types of search results appear depending on which search engine and keywords you use.

I have been using Google since back in day (used AltaVista and other in the past), but I will start to mix up things with testing out new search engines in the futures, e.g., DuckDuckGo.

A interesting combo would be a VPN service with a search engine feature for different regions of the world, so you could check how search results, ads, etc., looks in different places.

Hey Lyceum,

Thank you for your comment. I agree that DuckDuckGo would be worth checking out and see why so many people use that as their main browser.

I agree that your idea would be an interesting search engine idea to try out. I also think that people are concerned with how their information is tracked and used as a whole. The primary reason for people using DuckDuckGo is because of how they don't track you. Although Google could overcome that by limiting what information they track and such.
