Try 'N900 battery (allegro - highest ebay-like site for Poland and few other eastern european markets)', google gives wiki (of course), TMO, some pictures, none actually regarding battery, second bing result BL-5J... FFS, google stop selling your results, start giving relevant results. Anyways, future seems interesting when simplest searches start to give best results outside of google

start using duckduckgo.
Google and youtube do my head in with all the tracking rubbish.

Yeah, but on normal usage: N900 battery, ******** unrelated wiki sites, great, lets look for sellers for more detail: N900 battery allegro, still no info in first page results in google vs bing second result, ffs, when did google get so money hungry to push all their sponsored sites at top (which are usually unrelated ****), times are a changing

and btw ddg is using Google results, so their astroturfing of payers is still in the results, no? Anonymity is just part of what is wrong with goog

They do use google for some results like images and shopping etc
Hopefully this will change as DDG grows.

I also use Adblock which blocks most of the rubbish at the top of google searches anyway.

I'm afraid for most, but not afraid really. As soon as better 'search' (can we still call it 'search' when they push so much advertised content) gives 2-3 times a curious user worse results than their competitors do... I will definitely move to binging it if another slipup occurs, probably most users won't, but with firefox making bing default and techies learning gradually how their love is in fact pushing down content for ads... Collapse will take everyone by surprise (add to it ISPs that can critically hurt google when GOOF is trying to force their monopoly on them: (btw MS still needs to learn a lot, instead of treating google failures decently, they should act on making them more viewable as google does (every tried to google google video app that let you download from its services, it never left beta but is now one of hardest things to google), bing treats this as a normal article, though hard to find in first page google results, trick results to trick reality google adopted long ago):

Few more major ISPs following and google's revenue model collapse is expected (that or AdBlock+ adoption, expect unrequested features in chrome and disappearing from search results or else). Poor droid users, they will see a rise of advertising to fill that hole

Thanks for the inspiration guys

I just changed the default search engine in MicroB to duckduckgo.

+1. I've been using dudckduckgo for months now.

Stickymick, tell me how to do that. I searched for a solution since we dont have a meamomized google anymore and the full page is slow, IMO

Shame you can't change Opera's default search engine, I was trying to do this a while ago.

@mr_pingu - it's like firefox.

"about:config" and filter for "search"
IIRC it's the value "keyword.URL"
