You can also use Whoogle if you’d rather self host.

Whoogle is best in class, but doesn't provide much benefit unless combined with a rotating VPN. It also doesn't solve the "GBY" problem, where the majority of search engines rely on Google/Bing/Yandex's indices instead of using their own.

This is especially dangerous because it propagates an illusion that there's dozens of engines to choose from. The reality is these three companies control more and more of humanity's ingress to information, censoring what they see fit for political/financial gain.
