In this post I would like to share with you different search engines. Take a look and choose your favorite. Sometimes it’s worth to look at the alternatives to the most popular ones and check what they offer. Nowadays it is also worth considering not only what the search engines offer us but also what they know about us and what we provide them with. Monopoly is always a threat to the market. So feel free to check the following solutions.
