In this case, the market leaders of search engines will not be considered, and a greater bias will go to less popular browsers, which, albeit not in everything, will be better than the bulk of their competitors.
DuckDuckGo
A well-known search engine whose servers are set up in the United States. In addition to its robot, it also displays information from the following search sources: Wikipedia, Yahoo and Bing.
Benefits:
The main advantage is providing the user with privacy and confidentiality. What a person is viewing will not be displayed to anyone, moreover, the search engine does not collect personal information from users and, moreover, it does not share it.
This search engine shows objective results, not based on user behavior. For example, major search networks personalize their search results based on user preferences. Moreover, they show a person what is beneficial to them first of all. In the case of DuckDuckGo this will not happen.
not Evil
This system retrieves results over the anonymous network Tor. Therefore, in order to work through it, you need to download the Tor browser and calmly use this search engine. Of course, there are other search engines in this browser too: LOOK and TORCH, which also work well. However, if a person is used to using Google, then not Evil can be a good substitute, since the start page is identical here.
Benefits:
You can go to those sites that Google and Yandex cannot get to. Also, the search engine provides privacy of use. The Tor browser has a lot of things that can be seen in regular search results: torrents, blogs, websites, libraries, online stores, etc.
YaCy
Decentralized platform that operates on the specifics of P2P networks. Any computer can be an alternative to a search robot and collect all the information found in a separate extensive database, which can be used by all members of YaCy.
Benefits:
Here, a different approach to performing searches is followed, since there is no common server, so all the results obtained are independent. Censorship is completely excluded here. There are many materials that are prohibited by government agencies and large companies, but if they are interesting, then YaCy will help you to look at them.
Pipl
This system allows you to find all the information you need about a person.
Benefits:
The service allows you to find the right person better than search results in other popular browsers. The data is taken from social networks, comments, databases, as well as information from court decisions.
This service is perfect if you need to break through a person living in the United States, as for Russia, everything is not so smooth here yet. Information from Russian courts is not visible in the search results.
FindSounds
This search engine provides the ability to find various sounds: nature, cars, sirens, etc. In Russian, requests are not taken into account, however, there are special Russian tags by which you can find something.
Benefits:
The main feature is that only sounds with the desired format and quality can be found on the platform, and if you like something, download it. In general, any sound you need can be found here.
Wolfram Alpha
Wolfram Alpha is an excellent search engine that will show the user the exact facts about each question entered. For example, if you ask such a question “compare the population of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro”, then the result will immediately display a table with all the data.
Benefits:
The service is great for those looking for really hard facts without water. There is a ready-made answer for every question here. But if for some reason it is not there, then the system independently analyzes and displays the correct result.
For a researcher, student or journalist, this search engine will be a good source for finding the necessary and high-quality information without water.
Dogpile
All information is displayed from major search engines, as a result, a lot of useful information is displayed to the user.
Benefits Dogpile:
During operation, you may notice that much less ads are displayed here. Moreover, the system shows the best results among all search results. If you can’t find the information you need in a regular search engine, then you can use this service.
BoardReader

The service allows you to find posts and comments by various parameters: the desired topic, publication date and resource name. The system is especially suitable for PR specialists and other employees who need to know the opinion of users on a certain topic.
Conclusions
Depending on what is in priority and you need to choose. If it is important to keep complete privacy of your work, then you can use DuckDuckGo or not Evil, and if you find something hidden on the Internet, then download the YaCy system. It remains only to understand what is really needed.
