My search engine echoes previous searches.

Often when I do internet searches I will tend to
get hits that echo previous searches that I have
done and previous sites that I have visited, along
with an array of parallel advertisements.

When I do searches I do not necessesarily
want to see sites that I have seen before,
or echoes of previous searches, but wish to
find new things.

What can I do to stop this? Is it a matter
of constantly deleting cookies, or should I
do other things as well?

Are the searches you're making related in any way to the previous searches?
If so, you could get similar results.

Most search engines don't base results on your previous searches; that would
be very unusual.

I don't know of any way to automatically filter out sites that have come up
in a previous search from the current search.

Maybe you are searching for information that is similar to the
information you searched for before. If that is the case, it's not
surprising you would get similar results.

Yes, but when I move between different types of
terminals or computers I end up getting
slightly different search results with the
same keywords. It must be in the cookies.

Are you sure you connect to the same datacenter every time?

No, it's the datacentres. You get results from different DCs and
they're in a state of flux.
