Which search engine (not Google) has most relevant/usefull search results?
Most people know Google has the best search results, but what is the best alternative when we look for the best relevant/usefull results?

Number of indexed pages
According to worldwidewebsize.com (http://www.worldwidewebsize.com/) , Google indexing 47 billion pages, Bing indexing 10 billion pages. List of search engines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_search_engines#Search_results
In above mentioned SE list, Google indexing approx. 47 billion pages. Bing & Yahoo indexing around 10 billion.

When compared Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo in 2013 (http://www.bluebugle.org/2013/02/google-bing-blekko-duckduckgo-comparison.html), in terms of relevancy, Bing was the second best.

Following is my subjective 2015 comparison / test

Testing: Google (https://www.google.com), Bing (https://www.bing.com), Yahoo (https://search.yahoo.com), DuckDuckGo (https://duckduckgo.com)(looking for relevancy/usefullness of results) on 1st page/SERP. Less points = better
G: 1 1 2 2 1-2 1 3 2 3-4 1 2 = 20
B: 2 3 3 4 2 2 2-3 2 2 1 3 = 26,5
Y: 4 3 2 3 3 2-3 3 1 2 1 4 = 28,5
D: 3 3 3 3 2 1 3 1 3 2 2 = 26
Result (from best to worst): Google (20), DuckDuckGo (26), Bing (26,5), Yahoo (28,5)

So the best Google alternative according to my subjective test appears to be DuckDuckGo & Bing

best search engine

Subjective NOTES from testing:

ADVERTISEMENTS in SERP: Bing,Yahoo advertisements on top of SERP are anoying
VIDEOS in SERP: Bing & Yahoo showing videos more frequently (not perfectly targetted) so its time/SERP space waste for me.
SUMARY: Google & DDG maybe value space more, less or no unrelevant Ads, more text results

Subjective NOTES on testing result
(1) Google, (2) DuckDuckGo, (3) Bing, (4) Yahoo
GOOGLE: overall most usefull results, very handy, no excessive videos & ads in SERP
DuckDuckGO: no ads, but slightly less usefull/relevant results than Google
BING: second best usefull results with DuckduckGo, downside 4me are ads which are not perfectly targetted & videos which i usually ignore as i want fast text answers
YAHOO: same as Bing, only slightly worse usefull results

Today the world is just revolving around the internet. Life without the internet is impossible. We cannot even think to live without dissertation writing services (https://www.dissertationhqhelp.com/) internet for even a single day. All of our works are depended on the internet. If there is no internet then it feels like that your life is stopped.

I believe of all search engines Google and DuckDuckGo provide the most relevant search results.
Because they have better algorithms and they understand the searcher's intent in a much better way than other search engines.

Google is the most used and most studied in terms of SEO.
Studies in SEO and indexing generally focus (https://www.jeromeweb.net/web-pratique/21984-erreurs-campagne-display) on the google audience. The marketing policies of the largest e-commerce sites are based on Google.
For my part, I am used to using Google but I also use MSN or Yahoo from time to time.

I would prefer using Bing apart from Google as it provides more accurate results than any other search engines.

If you want to keep your personal data safe, then stay away from all google products. I use DDG daily and im happy with how accurate its results are.
