I use Google products heavily, especially Android, Maps and Gmail, but I have switched to using DuckDuckGo as my primary search provider. Have been using it as my default for over a year now and it feels like Google used to, before all the annoying personalised results and tinkering started ruining their search.

I agree, although sometimes it works. The same is true of other search engines, although they are sometimes better, sometimes worse, than Google. (But often I don't need web search that much anyways. I have man pages, Wikipedia, books, etc.)
