Agree that Google results are more reliably definable by multiple choice e.g. by date or format - the latter especially useful for identifying PDF copies of scientific studies that might otherwise be locked behind paywalls. Other search engines either lack those options or deliver less comprehensive results.

The link in the reply here by @dugaduga (which I first squinted at because it looks like spam) has some alarming elements, including discussion of Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME) estimated to influence up to 80% of undecided voters in the US.

A NYTimes fact check reveals that the study was limited to 95 participants and was not peer-reviewed, see https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/19/us/politics/google-votes-election-trump.html

However leaks show without a doubt that Google does manipulate results including via a blacklist, claimed to be against hate sites. Whether such manipulation edges over into electoral and other results is still being debated, see https://www.business2community.com/seo/caution-here-is-how-one-internet-search-can-end-up-changing-your-life-02301573

foerno's comment above is accurate. Google track not just your searches, but where you go online, what you write in your emails, to whom and much else besides. Their business model consists of building up a profile of their users and making a profit from this. It is far worse than being followed around by a private detective. You cannot predict who will have this information in 20 years time and how it could be used. We already know that intelligence agencies are asking companies like Google and Yahoo to hand this information over to them. This applies to people who use Google, Yahoo, Bing even if they don't live in the US.

So alternatives to Google search: several. DuckDuckGo is one. Another is Startpage, which searches Google on your behalf and gives you their results without ever revealing to Google that it was you that searched for the information. Another option is Disconnect Search, which does a similar thing.
