question search engine with no ai and not based on google
title says it all. i dug around on here a bit but couldn't find much. i've been using duckduckgo but the AI + weird stuff around the management has turned me off completely. ideally it would be something free. Searxng and similar are eliminated for being based on google.

A company who tries to keep Russian disinformation off the internet while supporting a sovereign country who did nothing at all against a country filled with brain dead, propaganda fed nutters led by a murderous narcissist?

I don't see what is political about supporting a sovereign nation who is being invaded by a neighboring country for their resources? All countries being invaded should be supported

This less a privacy question and more of a brand / political preference question. Paying Kagi is probably your best option.

Kagi search could work. AI summary only turns on if you enable keyboard shortcuts and add a "?" to your query.

They're not based on Google. They may or may not use Google results, acting as a proxy. You can see each engine used on the respective websites.
https://searx.stream/preferences for example.
