I've have been using https://www.ixquick.com/ recently. I made it my home page and default browser search engine. I like the theory and it works well (searches multiple engines simultaneously and anonymously). However, sometimes I found the results insufficient and then tried Google... yes, the Google ones were usually better in those situations. "da goog" just knew better what I was looking for... either that or the link ranking of mashing multiple sites reduced the more relevant links. It has a sister site: https://startpage.com/ that searches anonymously as ixquick does but uses only Google. Refer to the About links on each site for info...
