How do you find information online?

There are Lists of search engines.

But, which one(s) do you use and why?

Do you use just one search engine? Do you have one primary search engine and another one that you use only when your primary fails? May you use multiple engines depending on whether your search is on your desktop, mobile, or TV?

How do YOU choose?

    I don't trust StartPage. They are owned and funded by a publicly traded ad company. I've seen too many times how that goes.

    Here's a link to Reddit [reddit.com] from four years ago and a current link to StartPage's FAQ [startpage.com] with the relevant information.
