DDG has also become bad unfortunately. I used to add -site for quora and pinterest. But for some odd reason now a days it fails most of the time. Which has made the results very similar to Google. Plus they were always horrible at local search, atleast for most of the places where I lived.

https://search.brave.com/goggles - Is an interesting way of searching. But I just started using it recently. So still not sure about it.

https://kagi.com/ - Seems to be pretty decent, but it is paid.

But I am still searching. None of them seem to match old google. But that might be because the internet has changed with most of the actually useful information walled up.
