My strategy is to deprive Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple of as much personal data as I can. So for search, I use various search engines - for generic search queries I turn to Yandex (A Russian search engine that helpfully provides an option in the bottom to search on Google and Bing, if you are not happy with their search results), Stackoverflow for programming queries, IMDB for TV / Movies, and even Wikipedia and Reddit for other types of queries. This is easier to do now a days since Opera (pre-Blink version) popularised adding search from any site to the browser.
