So who do you use for search? The most mentioned around here is Duck Duck Go but they derive their income from ads also.

"if you find it acceptable to watch ads (I don't), use it"

"I mostly use Google"

Are you trolling?

How much would you be willing to pay for search as a premium service?

I'd pay 5-10 bucks a month without a second thought. That'd amount to something like 420-840 bucks to DDG since I've roughly started using it (somewhere around Snowden leaks).

It's not a larger amount than they would earn from me if I didn't use an ad-blocker, but it's 100% larger than they've earned from me over the years.

Depends on what? Let's assume we're talking Bing-level quality and DDG-level privacy. How much would you pay per month?

a lot of factors - future potential - features/technology behind it - feelings - financial situation - alternatives - need for a search engine

I don't even know if I'd pay anything at all.
