I’ve tried searx, but even simple queries returned no results. I just want sometnig reasonably private that works and doesn’t turn the Web into a shopping mall.

Out of curiosity, what aren’t you happy about with DDG? It protects your privacy unlike the other sites you mentioned

I’ve never gotten actually decent search results from DDG and was always ending up using !g to find something vaguely relevant, especially for non-English queries.
