paulgo.io. (searxng). A privacy-respecting, open metasearch engine. It also lists the location from where the results are pulled from, (i.e. Google, Bing, etc.)

I use a searxng instance as-well, one I can host myself. Besides the cool factor of hosting your own personal search engine you can tweak the setting a on a server level as you wish and you know the machine your queries are going to.

When I want to try something AI related I use the Bing AI though, it can pull from multiple search results when giving an answer which is cool.
