What is the alternative that's decent?

Duckduckgo has worked wonders for me, the app has a search widget as well.

That's just Bing.

DuckDuckGo can search using almost any search engine anonymously. Want to search Bing?Scratch this, I remembered wrong what those do.!b query. Google?!g query.
I do believe there's a setting to aggregate the top results from several different engines as the default search algorithm.-
!g and !b doesn’t anonymously do anything. It literally just opens up Google’s and Bing’s website with your query.

Ah, you're right, my bad. I could have sworn I remembered a search syntax on ddg for searching different sites with an anonymous query - apparently ! operators are not it

DuckDuckGo has a problem with booleans. I had to give up the Duck because of this. I'm using Mojeek, MetaGer and SearXNG these days.

Don't forget about bangs for searching alternate sites: https://duckduckgo.com/bangs !w = wikipedia, !e = ebay, !zillow = guess, !r = reddit, etc
Just put your bang in front of the rest of the search you want to do on that site: !g why doesn't Google use bangs? !ddg Why does Duck Duck Go use bangs?

Thanks! I'll give the them a try

Kagi is not only decent but much better. It's fantastic. I switched when it was new and never looked back.
Try a few searches with both Kagi and Google and you should see quite different results.

Yeah, I'm not gonna pay to search the internet. No way.
-
Lol that's a wild concept. $5 for 300 searches... so now when I go down a rabbit hole I have to count my searches.
Also, that gives them perverse incentives. If they make searching just a little frustrating they can get more searches out of you = more money. That's not right.
