Too bad about the choice for qwant. I've been using them for many years and they have big flaws: they block visits from unsupported countries, so if you're traveling, you're fucked. They also started blocking ad blocking users and their main webpage is full of crap that you have to disable manually. Their support is non existing. And they use the same censorship as Microsoft. I moved to brave search recently

Looks interesting but I tried it and like most alternative engines, it's bad and showing regional results for me. It's good for English based searches but not in my lingo

Have you tried Kagi?

It's a paid search engine, so their only priority is serving you good search results. It feels like using google before the 2012-ish enshittification.
