Searx is the only one I know of. Most others repackage one of the big tech companies' results.

Edit: Brave uses its own search index, but isn't open source. Also Brendan Eich is a tremendous asshole.

Searx is a meta search engine, which uses google by default as well. If you're going to use it, you should probably go into the settings and turn on a bunch of other search services as well.

One of the benefits is that if you use a public instance, it'll act as an anonymiser for google so they can't track you as well.
