google search on start.fedoraproject.org

[Kévin Raymond]

Hi there,

This is an old thread, we have not decided anything because:
- Alternatives are not 100% Open Source
- Users like the Google results.

I haven't checked about seeks update, but nowadays we could use
https://startpage.com/ which is search engine based on Google (it just
forward queries), but protecting our privacy. It uses Bing for
pictures and blinkx.com for movies.

http://duckduckgo.com/ Is by far the most interesting search engine,
and using the bang! syntax (!sp) we could ask DDG to give us startpage
results (i.e. Google!).

We are a leading edge community,
we are not simple users,
we should change start.fpo, and see with our browsers maintainer if
they want to switch.

Of course, this is only my voice, what about you?
