Alternative Search Engines

I left Explorer over a year ago and went to Opera and/or Firefox....
never ever to return.
I am still waiting for similar thing for the operating software. Fed up
with all of the troublesome features that keep going on and on and on.
I also wonder if anyone knows about alternative search engines, other
than Google, Yahoo and MSN. I found that these giants start to annoy
me, as they have their own agendas. A search engine is supposed to work
for you.... not to the advantage of advertisers, governments (example
China with their censorship), or big corporation or media outlets which
want to control what you do and purchase, you seek and what you want to
buy or where to visit.
I heard about an european search engine called "Exalead". Is there any
others out there, that will work for you. I don't mind for those that
do soft advertisement.... after all that is the way they make business.
However, I hate to see the ones that try to influence or even to force
you to visit a certain targetted websites. If you don't want to visit
these sites, then it is up to you, and you will not be forced by
"creative" way when you open a website. "Creative" means a polite way
that they come up with pop up that need to be closed, pop up that shows
up before the stuff that you look for, etc. Does anyone aware that the
stuff that you look in the web usually comes up last, after series of
flashing advertisements, etc. etc.
Where are the european search engines?  It is about time that they
would create one, and free the world of the current serach engines. Or
Australian or Canadian search engines?
We have now alternatives to Boeing airplanes, or a new and planned
Galileo GPS system, etc.. Why not that we have a new, clean, lean and
cooperative web search engine!
Thanks for info and discussions
