I went Yahoo -> Hotbot -> Dogpile -> Google -> Ixquick -> Vivisimo -> Google
(I've been around.)
I'm usually not this strong in my opinions, but this has to be said...
It sucks. The interface blows gay ass. I think my sister would find this too girly. I don't know what the statistics look like, but I've noticed that businesses work better with gender-neutral colors.
But...
If it works, it works. Speculation is useless garbage that fills forums with worthless reading. I have better things to read. (I did read this looking for
real information, but I'm better off studying server daemon manuals.) Let's see how it goes, and that's all I can say.
Why aren't any of these engines on top? (Feel free to add your own.) In the end, the best engine wins and the one with the greediest ads loses.
