To elaborate (couldn't share infographic due to posting from Tor):
>DDG founder was previously head of an ad-company that collected archives of other peoples email-addresses.
>Their privacy policy has had a history of being pretty fucking shit in comparison to other specifically -private- search engine's, as in using suspiciously bad / loose wording and non-definate promises of privacy.
>Servers being exclusively hosted on U.S. soil.
Tor Browser Bundle for example have exclusively used Startpage and now Disconnect for the last couple of years.
Startpage has won awards for their privacy practices and has decentralized servers, also hosted in European countries (The Netherlands I believe).
Disconnect is actually also a VPN, which appears to take them one step beyond the previously mentioned.
There are also completely decentralized p2p search engines like YaCy, but unfortunately it's not that widely used yet and it's search-results are therefore sub-par, but this is based on hearsay from my part. That's at least why I haven't used it yet. Hopefully it will gain tract some day though.
