In the meantime, you should also check other free search engines. DDG gets it's results from Bing. Startpage.com is another good one, it gets it's results from Google and just has a privacy layer. I recently switched to Brave Browser and have been using their native Brave Search & it has been working pretty well. They use their own bot to actually go out & index stuff (from what I understand).
There's also Metager.org which is a meta search that gets it's results from several different sources. There's also a few others but I really haven't found much use for them or just get poor results.
Check out searchengine.party if you want to try out the really esoteric search engines.

- JohnFen 3y ago> I can't afford yet ANOTHER subscription service. Fair. For me, Kagi and YouTube (which I'm ditching) are the only subscription services I have, so it isn't a burden.
- nunez 3y agoI feel you, but running something like Kagi requires massive amounts of computing power, and something has to give. It's either we pay for the hosting costs and growth, or we get an ad-supported mess, i.e. Google v2.
