Why A9?

When I first read Amazon's search engine A9 was dropping retained data, I honestly didn't see the BFD one way or the other. After all, I'm careful enough to only search for fairly innocuous things. At least in anything that can track me, anyway. As long as I kept my precious 1.57% discount on Amazon, I didn't care.

Since then of course it's come to light that the A9 Instant Reward I enjoyed so much was one of the axed features. If you take the time to read the /. story above, you'll see I wasn't the only one using A9 because of the Amazon discount. I'm also not the only one to drop A9 like a bad habit the second the discount evapourated.

So my question is, is anyone using A9 now that the bribe's a thing of the past? If so, why? I'm honestly curious as to what you find compelling over the other search engines currently available.
