I switched to Kagi a year ago. It's free for first hundred searches so you can see what it's like. If you like it you can pay for it. I know paying for a search Engine is very niche, but I use my search Engine for both work and personal, it's a tool and frankly you've already hit the nail on the the head with everything else just being shit. Between rubbish results and poor privacy, I really am happy that I have Kagi as an option. The price per year ain't bad for how much I use it and I'm happy my money is going to devs rather that aren't selling my data
