#'d so easier to refer to in comments: 1. lately been using Baidu + Bing + Google + Yandex if run into something particularly tough to find, e.g., reverse image search. EntireWeb can also be helpful 2. tend not to use DDG, Neeva, Qwant, StartPage, You, etc. or most other traditional alt engines since most are Bing based, a couple are Google based 3. am tracking Brave, though don't use much, as they are scraping some direct 4. neera.ai (not Neeva as already cited) has interesting UI- basically unrolls DDG's bangs & mojeek can also be helpful -- haven't had chance to suss out if they direct scrape or bing under hood, etc. 5. Contextual Web, Exalead, Gigablast, Yacy, etc. are mixed bag in my experience -- sometimes get lucky, tend to not have coverage for everyday use, more when going exhaustive search on something 6. honorable mention to web.archive.org which has saved the day for me many times 7. honorable mention to Breeze, which is topic search engine founded / building, re: https://breezethat.com/ https://breezethat.com/ -- mix of Bing, Google, and we direct scrape
