I’ve tried searXNG but I’ve never been able to get great search results. Maybe I need to spend some more time setting it up or something??

I’ve used DDG and Kagi previously and don’t have any complaints. Startpage has also been pretty decent for myself.

It is a metasearch engine, so you can tweak the sources of the results, default language, etc. I personally use all the default plus some more engines and all languages, then reduce results if I can't find useful information. It has made searches easier for me, since you can find all types of information with just one click (Search | Images | Files | Academic | etc.) and multiple languages, but it can be not so welcoming to people that want simple searches.
