Any “small-web” search engines? (lemmy.zip)

I use Duckduckgo, but I realised these big(ish) search engines give me all the commercialised results. Duckduckgo has been going down the slope for years, but not at such a rate as Google or Bing has.

I want to have a search engine that gives me all the small blogs and personal sites.

Does something like this exist?

Don't know if this fits your criteria, but I've been using Gruble a lot recently. You can personalise the look and language in the settings, plus it's open source.

For info: That's (just) a SearXNG instance. That's a metasearch engine, getting results from Google etc and proxying and aggregating them for you.
