1. Bing

Despite trailing Google by a wide margin in U.S. market share (24.2 percent vs. 63.2 percent), an argument can be made that Bing performs better in certain aspects.

For starters, Bing has a rewards program that allows one to accumulate points while searching. These points are redeemable at the Microsoft and Windows stores, which is a nice perk.

The Bing image search performs flawlessly across all browsers, whereas Google image search seems to be optimized just for Chrome.

In my view, the Bing image search GUI is superior to its rival’s and much more intuitive. Bing carries that same clean user experience to video, making it the “go to” source for video search without a YouTube bias.

2. DuckDuckGo

If you’re looking for true privacy, DuckDuckGo is the search engine for you.

DuckDuckGo doesn’t collect or store any of your personal information. That means you can run your searches in peace without having to worry about the boogeyman watching you through your computer screen.

DuckDuckGo is the perfect choice for those who wish to keep their browsing habits and personal information private.

3. Wiki.com

Looking for a search engine that pulls its results from thousands of wikis on the net? If so, Wiki.com is a good choice.

Wiki.com is the perfect search engine for those who appreciate community-led information as found on sites like Wikipedia.

4. Twitter

Twitter is hard to beat as a real-time search engine. It’s the perfect place to go for minute by minute updates in the case of an emergency.

Google’s algorithm will catch up eventually, but nothing beats a Tweet in the heat of the moment.

5. CC Search

CC Search should be your first stop on the hunt for many types of copyright-free content.

This search engine is perfect if you need music for a video, an image for a blog post, or anything else without worrying about an angry artist coming after you for ripping off their work.

The way CC Search works is simple – it draws in results from platforms such as Soundcloud, Wikimedia, and Flickr and displays results labeled as Creative Commons material.
