Good find. Anyone who hasn't tried it should definitely give it a shot (for different reasons imo).
It pulled up some different results from Google and Bing. Sense about 25% of my searches are for things that aren't talked about all over the place this is a very good thing (ie, 'usb spi master', and even 'perl plack' turned up some stuff I hadn't seen before).
I don't really mind Google tracking me (I like them saving my search history for me and they show me when and how many times I've viewed a page where they were the referrer). I also like the js stuff and some of their advanced search idioms I use quite often. But, for a search engine to give me (seemingly) totally different results. Fucking gold!
