This is why I have been using aselfhosted searxng instance for over a year and half now.
It's still just Google and ddg and whatnot though.,?
Like. There's only a few search engines. Bing. Google. Yandex. Yep.
I haven't found aggregating them with search to be even remotely useful because more garbage is still garbage
There is actually a lot more search engines that you might think, plus there are privacy frontends for them you can aggregate.
Edit: Also the main poin't of searxng is to use it as a proxy for them which hepps if you use an instance with multiple users, or host an instance for you and your friends for example.
Excepting yep and Yandex virtually everything else is just a front end for Google / bing afsikm unless I'm incorrect about that?
