I live in a country which uses a language I don't speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).

I’ve used DuckDuckGo for a long time now and have never had a problem with it

Yes, I also switched to DDG, before there were so many options on the market, and its been more than sufficient since then.

I have a feeling I'm not utilizing search engies as much as I should, as I only use them to navigate to other websites.

The built-in conversion tools are really great, and the Wikipedia info-box has saved me many clicks, but aside from this, I really just need a search engine that works, without selling my data to the highest bidder.

DuckDuckGo is just that for me.
