Just made the switch back to DuckDuckGo

The Google results are atrocious. Fkin 7 "sponsored" results. Two pages almost of fluff

DuckDuckGo is only a meta search engine, they don't have their own index. They use bing's indexes and thus have very similar results, which are more often than not ~~terrible~~ ~~crap~~ absolute dogshit, SEO manipulated and completely unhelpful and you need to sift through them.

I would know, I use it on the daily and am currently looking for an alternative.

Searx looks most promising but I haven't really dived into it. Well... Ever.

And DuckDuckGo still has me somewhat won over because html.duckduckgo.com exists and something that I can call peak web design (no joke I truly love it): lite.duckduckgo.com

SearX or even better, SearXNG is probably the best option right now. But it is still just a metasearch engine. Unfortunately, currently there is no real FOSS option with its own index that is usable.
