Dump Google?

Dear Ubuntu Developers,

I'm not sure if I'm the first person to suggest this, but lately 
Google's reputation has diminished, especially with talk of them being 
Big Brother (yes, I know what server my email's on).  Why not drop 
Google and go for a more private search engine?

I know of a few underdogs such as Startpage and Yauba (I know of one 
more whose name I forgot...they have plans for an email system).  
Probably they would be happy to form an alliance with Ubuntu.

I'm thinking large-picture here.  Ubuntu's main attraction is it's 
security and privacy (not requiring users to register, for instance).  
With the technology news on Google and large search engines, I think we 
should jump on the band wagon to avoid Google. What do you say?

Thanks!
