Yet another slight from Duckduckgo, adding to the many they have done recently. I’m looking for a new search engine to be my daily driver. Any suggestions? Startpage? Brave?

Try
Andisearch (new AI driven search assistant)
MetaGer (German Meta search engine)
Mojeek (British search engine with own web crawler)
Peekier Shows web previews instead of only a list in the results)
Lilo (Lilo gives its revenue to social and eco-friendly projects)
All of them strong privacy focused search engines.
Peekier and Lilo seem to give good results - I think I quite like Lilo. Thanks!
You can find here a huge list of search engines, including the needed strings to use them in the browser in the search/adress bar.

Different search engines have different results, because of this is advisable to use several engines if you want a serios research sometimes. I use often different search engines to find the best source in some themes, including also specific ones from image, science, music, social networks.
Do they have their own crawler and indexers or do they rely on something else?
Depends, some of them, like Startpage (proprietary) or Whoogle (FOSS) use the Google engine (Whoogle without the ads), others are using Bing, some metasearch engines like Metager use several engines and a own one, Andi is a special case, it don’t show a lot of results, but the most relevant ones corresponding to your cuestion, or shows a direct answer. It’s a AI driven search assistant who understands the concept of your search (It’s still in beta, but in heavy developement and works very well, I use it in first instance when Isearch specific things. Anyway itself permits the search with several other engines. What I like most, also permits to view most pages in the result in Reader view, without the need to open them.
