@Tutanota @ecosia @Qwant @kagihq @StartpageSearch @duckduckgo Kagi FTW. Yes its paid, but it ain't expensive, and it actually finds things like Google used to do back in the day...

@Tutanota @ecosia @Qwant @kagihq @StartpageSearch @duckduckgo I've just subscribed for Kagi yesterday. I've been eyeing them for about a year now, but was always hesitant to start paying for searches. But I finally made the move. I'm sure it will pay off, because last time I blew the free 100 searches in about 2 days.

I would be careful with startpageStartpage is owned and operated by Surfboard Holding BV, which is majority owned by System1, an American internet advertising company.
System1 is an American Internet advertising company. Formerly known as OpenMail, it was founded in 2013. It describes itself as operating a "Responsive Acquisition Marketing Platform", and cites privacy as one of its principal foci, although it has been criticized for its influence on privacy-focused properties, including search engine Startpage.com. It is headquartered in Marina del Rey, California.
The Startpage acquisition was done through System1's subsidiary Privacy One Group Ltd. -

Nice, but not comparable.
It doesn't have its own index and just uses other indices.
But the real bummer: 18+ only.
Kagi has a proper family plan (which essentially makes it even cheaper), so my kids can use it as well.(And I cannot really follow your thinking that Kagi is somehow supporting Russia.)
#Kagi pay Yandex in exchange for search results. In russia, #Yandex hands over their users' private data to the FSB, promotes pro-war disinformation and shows only Kremlin-approved websites in the top 5 results. Yandex also sent their Ukrainian users' private information to the #russian intelligence services.
@kagihq's CEO said: “The moment 'politics' becomes a factor in search results is the moment I stop working on a search engine. … Users deserve access to the best possible information, not information filtered through our political lens. … As someone who was a refugee of two wars, I'm not indifferent to human suffering. The world doesn't need another politicized search engine.”

I'm quite frankly rather puzzled, what other service to use instead because ads are no option and a pure meta search engine is suboptimal at best as well.
