I've abandoned Google and Bing and now use StartPage as my primary search engine.
They are a Dutch company that uses SSL for your searches, and don't record your IP or searches. They don't filter your results and they don't personalize them either. They don't give you a cookie or read your cookies.

Do you know that the ads on these pages are from Google? - my tracker says g.com, publicadsg.com and googleadsg.com are all google ads. If you click on one you are recorded.
This kind of spy stuff is all around us and most of them, like Google, work to defeat our second and fourth amendment rights.
