Google (search engine) alternatives? (self.opensource)

Hi! I'm trying to find a Google alternative, tried duck duck go but found it very lacking, both in results and interface (not showing the date on the links, for example, that's useful). Obviously don't wanna go the bing route. Any recommendations? Also, sorry if this is not the right place to ask, I didn't know where! Thanks!

I use that as well. It's great because google still give the best results and startpage (mostly) just proxies the requests to google.

That's btw. the way most other alternative search engines work as well. E.g. ecosia is mostly bing.

In any case, I do trust startpage over duckduckgo, because they're (more or less) European. I.e. would get into a lot more trouble when spying illegally.
