This issue with Google has been progressive and is still evolving. I raised a similar concern sometime back here on CH when it became necessary for a google  user to "opt out" of allowing them as the default position to determine for me the parameters of the google search results. To answer the question of the post i am starting to use "Duck Duck" more often and if i can wean myself from the automatic draw of Google i may eventually reside there for my web searching. I have found it very comprehensive and see no downside so far. Plus they do NOT collect personal data by their statement. truenorth

I'll stay with Google. Regardless of whether or not I agree with - or even like - how they do business, no other search engine I've tried provides results that equal Google in my opinion
Ditto.

Btw, I often get the same results with IXQuick that I get with Google. The only thing Google has going for it is that it is more forgiving when it comes to spelling errors.

Does that happen if you sign out of your gmail, youtube, google+ account(s)? Even if you clear your cookies?

Honestly, I don't care what is causing the problem, and I'm not interested in solving it because it's not my problem to solve. I just found an alternative that I've found more robust.
