Oh no :( DDG also becoming bad. Can you suggest me any other search engine (Not Self Hosted one).

DDG is still the best non self host search engine imao. But Startpage and Swisscows are also great options and don’t have the AI stuff and some neat features like private preview (both) or music search (swisscows). Of those two options startpage is superior in privacy

I'm currently stuck using DuckDuckGo myself, just with the AI fluff disabled in settings. I've tried various other search engines but they're either also buying in the LLM hype, or are just Not There Yet™ (https://stract.com, for example), or both.
