40 advanced and alternative search engines

Looking for alternative search engines to Google? Here are the 37 best search engines other than Google.

Best Alternative Search Engines

To start off our search adventure, let’s look at some general search engines beyond the top three — Google, Bing, and Baidu.

1. DuckDuckGo

The homepage of the DuckDuckGo search engine.

Concerned about online privacy? DuckDuckGo prides itself on being the search engine that does not track or personalize your searches and results. They even offer handy visual guides on Google tracking and filter bubbling.

If you’re an iOS user, you can set DuckDuckGo as the default search engine in Safari. It’s also an option for Safari on macOS.

2. Ecosia

The homepage of the Escosia search engine.

Want trees planted while you search? That’s what Ecosia does! Simply run your normal searches, and Ecosia will use its surplus income to support conservationist organizations that plant trees.

6. Startpage

The homepage of the Startpage search engine.
