If you are truly worried about Google's new privacy policy, you have some options.
Ixquick, for example, bills itself as "the world's most private search engine." According to their privacy policy, Ixquick does not record IP addresses. They also claim to drop only one cookie to record your preferences (search language, family filter, etc.). You don't get the cookie until you save your settings, and it expires after 90 days.
Ixquick queries several search engines simultaneously. When you leave the results page to follow a link, you can go directly to the new page, or let Ixquick proxy in for you. Choosing this option will slow down your browsing slightly, but the page will be loaded through Ixquick's servers, and you will remain invisible.
