As a first suggestion, I will offer up *Qwant*

  https://www.qwant.com/?l=en)

I'm quite happy with Qwant (a France-based company), although if looking for images, I still use DDG.


However, when doing so, care must be taken that the site is not just "*fronting*" for Google, like some of the "green-funding" search sites.

Um, Qwant doesn't do their own indexing, they front Bing.


There was talk of them doing a web crawler, but I don't think that went very far, sadly.
