This may be too obvious, but you can use a search engine which doesn't personalize search results. Google knows a lot about us and it uses that information (including, say, social media) to balance results around what it thinks you'll like and what advertisers would like you to see. Using startpage, ixquick or duckduckgo can go a long way towards obtaining more neutral results. Startpage actually uses the google algorithms, minus personalization.
