There's really only one alternative, Bing. Virtually all the other western search engines are using the Bing api, and just slightly modify the results.

Technically Yandex has it’s own index, although there’s debate on whether Eastern Europe counts as western in this context
I use Kagi ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Which uses Bing as its primary index
Source? I don't see any mention of that here: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/search-details/search-sources.htm...
Search "chili recipes" on bing. Now search kagi or any other alternative search engine. They all show the exact same recipes because they're using the bing API.
Just gave this a try, and the results were very different for me.
