I live in a country which uses a language I don't speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).

I use the following search engines listed by priority:

Brave
DuckDuckGo
Google / Bing

Sometimes the first two just don't have the right results.

This is me, beyond that I don't use Bing. I'd like to mostly live on Brave, it's gotten very good, but Firefox mobile doesn't support suggestions in the main url bar from search engines which aren't in the browser by default. So I'll continue to use DDG on mobile for now. I briefly had switched on mobile due to DDG returning very slow for me for a while. But that issue seems to have been resolved.
