    Will have to play with it some more...
    To clarify, Blackle was not written by Google. It was created by a company called Heap Media using the Google Custom Search. Info is available by following the About Blackle link on the search page.

    It may use less energy, but I find it much more difficult to read. My eyes prefer dark letters against a light background. So I will stick with Google!

    Okay, usually I'm a googlemama... but when I want a different twist, I just ask www.msdewey.com - give her time to load and ask her questions... or just wait a while... there's audio

    That's funny. I like the impatient faces she makes as she waits, but I think it might get annoying after a while.

    My default has been GoodSearch. They donate their proceeds and you can choose your favorite charity from a long list. It's a Yahoo powered search, so the results are a bit different from Google's.

    So now I have to choose which does more good in the world as if I weren't agonizing over enough minor decisions already.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
