I think I'm going to try using DuckDuckGo for a while and compare, might even try Yahoo search.

I found Brave search to be awesome.

search.brave.com

It's working on this idea called Brave Goggles where you can click on a goggle and it tweaks the algorithm to prioritize that type of content or specific sites get higher ranking

It's pretty cool.

All their results have been fantastic as well for me and it's supposed to be private as well.

It's pretty much replaced google for me without even noticing.

You could do both: use DDG but preface search with !brave as needed.
I mainly use DDG, and this is part of the reason why.
The problem is that Google actually has support for quotes, even if it's not reliable. Try searching for short song lyrics or poetry, or pretty much any obscure quote on ddg and you can't find it. Putting individual words and phrases in quotes does nothing on ddg unless they suggest it for you...in which case it often still doesn't work
