<i>Alas, it’s 2016 and there’s still no serious competitor to Google.</i><p>Eh. I switched my default to Duck Duck Go and I&#x27;m pretty happy with it. Not quite as magical as Google was in its heyday but then neither is Google. Set up keywords for your searches (&quot;g&quot; for Google, &quot;b&quot; for Bing etc.) and they&#x27;re all just a keystroke away anyhow.<p>And if you&#x27;re too lazy to set up your own custom searches or you&#x27;re using a borrowed machine, Duck Duck Go has some slick built-in &quot;bang&quot; searches: &quot;!imdb aronofsky&quot;, &quot;!msdn system.diagnostics&quot; and so on.
