I’ve been disappointed by many and don’t trust commercial space.

Dig around and you will find no so pleasant information on DDG and Kagi. I suspect same is true for any business backed search.

I used both and eventually run into negative information, which made me reconsider both. I started with DDG, then Kagi.

It is SearXNG all the way for me now and there are no regrets so far. Other post on it is the best option.
