I've recently started using a self hosted SearXNG instance but I'm still using the search engines enabled by default (google, duckduckgo and qwant). What search engines do you have enabled or which ones do you feel you've gotten the best results with?

I have tried, and it really doesn't work that well. Often I'm looking for a specific word, and if I search the page that DDG gave me, the word doesn't appear at all. Either it finds words it thinks are close enough, or it just ignores the request.
