This has been a a tough one, Google gives all ad-focused results, and DuckDuckGo gives crap results (imho)
I did find Kagi recently but they charge after 100 free trial searches, and I’m considering paying for it because it’s so good. Best results I’ve gotten anywhere in a long time.
Thanks!

You can pick what search engines are sourced, which is fanatic, and it’s fully anonymous. My preferred instance is disroot’s (https://search.disroot.org) as they are a super trustworthy nonprofit in my book.
I use kagi and really like it. I find it worth the money as a business owner and software dev. I feel I’m more productive.
You can set up your own “lenses” which are targeted, customized searches and then use a keyword to invoke them. Pretty handy when you routinely search for obscure topics.

I’ve had Qwant foisted on me by Firefox and it’s decent enough, I find, no complaints.
I’m curious to know people’s thoughts on Startpage. I’ve been using it exclusively for a good couple months now and like it.
Owned by a for-profit company, and it puts ads on top of your search results now.
Oh really? Man, I thought I was doing good. I never see ads since I use uBlock Origin.
