Lately Google has been getting more and more proprietary and less and less personal. I started using Google about 5 years ago, and it was good search engine. It peaked about a year ago (in my opinion), but lately I've realized it sucks. I'm not getting the quality of results I was a year ago. I've been getting tons of garbage pages lately. Yes, Google has all these great features coming out, but it's all too much for me. I liked plain and simple Google. In the future, I see Google taking over as the "new" Microsoft.
On top of all that, I've been having some problems with my Gmail account lately. So, I email the Gmail Team, and about a week later, they send me a generic response. So I email them back, extensively describing my problem. Again, about 5 days later, I get another generic response, asking questions that I answered in my previous email. So by now I'm a little ticked off. I expected a personal response, maybe not giving me a solution to my problem, but at least assuring me that they would look into it. That's what I expected from a company like Google. So anyways, this emailing goes back and forth about 4 times, and I answer their generic questions. Finally, after I emailed them about a week and a half ago I get this response:
That is the type of email I would expect from Microsoft, but not Google. So I'm tired of Google. It had its peak, and now it's falling.

With that out of the way, I'm looking for a brand new search engine. Not something gay like MSN, Yahoo, Altavista (but I do use it for music searches), Dogpile, etc. I want something brand new, like Google was when it first came out.
