I've been using DuckDuckGo for about a year now. I would say it has complete parity with every search engine other than Google, and only seems to miss things when I do very specific searches. A common example is looking up an error i

Nothing but positive experiences with youtube-dl, invaluable piece of software IMO. For people interested in tools like this, or for people who want to just watch videos without downloading, I would also recommend Livestreamer. I use it to
