Not really. When I say meaningful alternative to Google, I mean something that is same or less effort for an average user, not more.
Ideally a perfect search engine is simple and easy to use in the default mode, but can uncover an advanced mode with a few clicks (for example ability to ban sites in results, just to give an example. This is currently lacking in Google and a solid source of advanced users' frustration).
