If you figure out how to search "correctly" on SearXNG instances, some of them are pretty good (though they source part of their results from google). That's how I search most of the time nowadays. I've found a favourite instance and a few backups. My most important advice is: to change the default language from "auto" to "en", and only change it to some other locale for results specifically in that language/country.
If I understand correctly, isn't that just a meta search that is using corporate results as the back end?
It is indeed, but in my experience it's somehow better than the corporate backends at presenting the "correct" results to me.
this has been my experience with paulgo.io with the exception of images, which i sometimes have to use google for
