I keep coming back to this topic, almost weekly at this point. Right now, the best I can recommend are @Mojeek and @MetaGer They are what I have been using and I highly recommend them both, but they're not perfect solutions for everyone.
The catch with Mojeek is it is closed source and for profit, but it is still a very good independent project. While MetaGer is opensource and nonprofit, you will still have to make a small donation to use it (I have been paying $10 every quarter or so).
There is also SearXNG, but it has its own drawbacks as well, though you can selfhost it.
Whenever this topic comes up, you will always get people who bring up noai.duckduckgo.com, but that doesn't fix the issue that they are still promoting and benefiting from their own LLMs.
@disroot is a wonderful organization and was my first stop when I started my deGoogle journey. Search.disroot.org is basically a SearXNG instance and it is really good.
I honestly forgot about it because I was using it for abit and they had some server issues and I jumped to other options and didn't come back. Thank you for reminding me about it!
