You could use Scroogle as an alternative

And be equally careful of MagicJack

I would but AFAIK, Scroogle doesn't have an advanced search page like
Google's:

http://www.google.com/advanced_search?num=100&hl=en&lr=lang_en&as_qdr=all

If Scroogle came up with those capabilities, I'd go for it.

x-privat.org for eg.) as possible due to forgeries posted through them.

From what I can tell, Scroogle can employ the same search operands that
Google offers. For example, I can scroogle for pdf-only instructions on
setting up an open source vpn which excludes mention of Microsoft from
gummint-only sites.

> set-up "open source" vpn -microsoft filetype:pdf site:.gov"

Not sure how to set lang-only or 100 results per but I haven't taken the
time to look for any doc...

hth,
