Plenty of other search engine that need your attention 🫠
I wish that was the case but sadly most of them are basically Bing or Google frontends or belong to entities that I trust even less. As far as I can tell there are very few independent crawls out there.
SearXNG is fairly decent if you can set that up.
SearXNG is great at what it does but it falls into the Bing/Google/etc-frontend category since it just forwards your query to one of the search engines it has modules for. It doesn't have its own crawl and index.
Kagi has been doing a decent job for me, with the downside that it's paid, and does use results from other places.
They go into detail about how they work, but it's them paying for results from lots of engines, plus their own engine, then heavy duty filtering of the results.
Plus a ML results summarizer you can press after searching.
