I moved from Google Search to Kagi, and I really like it. It's a bit expensive though the experience is really nice, and you know where you stand with them as a customer, regarding their priorities/motivations.

I'd use Kagi, but anonymous searching is impossible because you need an accoint to use the search, due to it being a paid service. I just have to take their word that they maintain privacy. I don't trust any company's word for shit. Also AFAIK it's not open source, so I can't self host it either.

Also, it's quite expensive when other options are free. I get why they do it this way, but it's just not for me.
