Search steps in as a better alternative, with an interface that will make you forget you are not even Googling!

Yahoo! still offers a better privacy to their users and Yahoo Local and Yahoo Weather are other most often used services.

Wolfram Alpha mainly curates its data, instead of caching web pages. This search engine curates data from a lot of reputed and trustworthy college publications/libraries, Crunchbase, FAA, Best Buy and many other sources.
Wolfram Alpha comes up with results which are computational facts. On the home screen are some of the examples of searches through which Wolfram Alpha could assist in. If you look up a University on Wolfram Alpha, it curates all of the key information like the Enrollment numbers/Tuition Fees/location, etc. and all the essential data curated and presented in a single spot.
