I feel like I see this question come up now and then across the communities I'm in, and there's always a debate over search engines lol. Anyway, to answer the question, I use Kagi for its custom rankings (and, more recently, Wolfram|Alpha integration, which I've found more useful than I expected it to be).

DuckDuckGo as a default with Google as fallback depending on what I'm looking for. For lemmy the default search of my instance works well enough so haven't tried external engines.
Same. I have had particularly poor results on image searches from duckduckgo. It's on par or superior to Google for general web searches, but man, Google image search is still better
Pro tip: if you add !g to your search results in DuckDuckGo, it returns Google results
Yeah that's what I usually do
Ddg. It's shit but it's okay for my purposes most of the time.
Searxng.
I've begun to pay for Kagi.com
I wouldn't say that it "blows my mind" or anything, but simply that it seems to work as expected (which is more than what I can say for Google). There's also a "Fediverse" button on Kagi.com, so it can search lemmy.world (and more??).
