Pretty much the same results (AFAIK, it's their own new engine; in Beta). I’ve set SearchMash as the default search engine in Opera and I’ve pretty much abandoned Googly.

It's a common practice of mine to delete cookies on a regular basis. My ip is changed often enough they'll have to come up with another way to track my history. Maybe like the click habits sense that has been announced it is possible to continue to id those that use it's services. Google is beginning to lose it's usefullness to me. It is so crowded with ads that I don't want and have to weed through to find the material, buried far in the back of the search, that I do want that the pain to use it is rapidly overcoming it's benefits. I am beginning to long for a search engine that gives me what I ask for and not sideline guess at what I might be interested in buying. If I was interested in buying, I wouldn't be searching for data on the net; I'd be in a bookstore or related store that had what I was interested in. The ads that so ruin media today has become a pest beyond my ability to say just how much I despise them. With news of forecasts that say ad budgets will increase for the internet, I can see it will only get worse. I will be certain to ignore those that advertise as products I won't spend on because of the intrusiveness that is neither wanted nor desired. These ad companies have become a pest industry beyond all comprehension. Google not only tracks you by your cookies but your ip as well.
