Can we get from a world where Google is synonymous with search to a world where other search engines have a real chance to compete? The U.S. and state governments’ bipartisan antitrust suit, challenging the many ways that Google has maintained its search monopoly, offers an opportunity.

I don't know, but yahoo used to be the go to aswell until a better option came. I'll tell you what though, it will be a cold day in hell when I use Bing.

Every engine out there other than Google already uses Bing. Bing actually has a usable privacy model; it’s one of the products IMO Microsoft actually got right.

I do long for the days of Lycos, AltaVista, Hotbot, etc. though; the ad system was simpler then.

Actually, what I really miss is the days of Archie, Veronica and Jughead, before flashing ads and marquees were even possible.

I thought Mojeek used its own engine, and I know Yacy does.
