You may be interested in searX - it refers to data sources as Engines; you have the ability to run your own instance (or use a public shared one) and only enable engines you want results from (reddit, stackoverflow etc.). Build your own meta-engine recipe, basically.

https://searx.space to learn / get started. Find one and visit it, click Preferences upper right then follow your schnoz.

The results include all the SEO spam that infected Google, ie. SO clones. How is it better?

The GP commented about using curated sources. One can disable all those (google, bing, etc.) and choose to only enable results from reddit, wikipedia and so forth in searX, which directly queries based on a config inside the project.
