A very good Substitute for Google

Duck Duck Go

Yeah, thats the name  www.duckduckgo.com
This is a very good replacement for google. You will find its Zero-Click information. It means you search for any item and duckduckgo will give you a quick summary by collating information from different sources. So if you were to search for a movie, it will grab information from IMDB, Wikipedia and maybe even a booking site to give you relevant results. and you can ask the search engine " Who is the cricketer of the year 2012" to get an instant answer.
Another big plus is privacy. Google is hell bent on collecting and sharing your personal information as it pleases. it is seen as the big bad villain on the internet. duckduckgo is quite the opposite. it does not collect any data about you, as well as does not send your private data to any site you visit.

!band is another good feature. its a shotcut to let you search within your intended site. Let's see, you want to search for Shahrukh Khan on facebook so you just type !Facebook Shahrukh Khan in the search box and you will be presented with Facebook's search results for the term.
