[Asia Round-up] Life without Google: search engine alternatives

Google processes 100bn search requests a month, or about 3.3bn per day. It’s become such a dominant force in web search that its name has become a verb: people don’t “look up something online,” they “google it.” But there are other commercial alternatives out there, even beyond Yahoo and Microsoft’s Bing. Many of them are small and put a premium on anonymity and data security. Some of them are: DuckDuckGo, Ixquick and Qwant.
