duckduckgo primarily, but have been starting to dabble with a self hosted Whoogle.

I'm using DuckDuckGo but I'm going to switch back to Brave Search when images will be ready
Phind.com and you.com
Duckduckgo, works like I want it to and it's not Google. Never had a problem with its search results either. Tried several others as well including searx and ecosia but I found their image search inferior to ddg's.

I've been using presearch.com and and quite happy with the results it gives for any question. Yes, there are one or two sponsored links, but the rest consists of great results

Ecosia on desktop, DuckDuckGo on mobile.
I use Bing just because it was immediately available when I decided I didn't want to use Google anymore.
Google most of the time, Yandex if I need to find pictures. Their image search is more like Google's before they nerfed it. I've used Qwant off and on in the past and rather liked it.
Startpage most of the time but its so slow in showing you the result. When im using the web for studying i just use google without an account because its just WAY faster
For the moment I am using brave search not on brave browser but as a firefox add-on, a fine tuned searx.be and perplexity.ai, which isnt a search engine but a connected chatgpt ai with links in the answers.
Ever since Bing introduced their AI stuff I've been trialing it + Edge on my main computer. It's not so bad but sometimes I do need to use Google to actually find what I'm looking for. Currently using Google on everything else though. The AI stuff is actually pretty good but I feel like if Google makes their implementation more widespread most people are just going to use that vs Bing.
