unfortunately there's no competition to Search on the horizon”. What about duckduckgo? I’ve been using it roughly for a year and i’m happy with it.

DDG mostly uses Bing, Yahoo and Yandex (anonymized). To be honest apart from some obviously spammy web sites that rank high only on Google, their search results don't seem to be significantly different. My impression anyway. And so we don't even know whether what we see via these search engines is the real Internet or we all live in a bubble created by them.
I could be wrong but I think DDG is actually backed by Bing.
