What search engine have you switched to?

Maybe I've just been tuned to use Google effectively, but Bing/DuckDuckGo results are horrid except for very simple things, while Google gets me exactly what I want in the first ~5 results.

I switched to DuckDuckGo initially and had similar gripes over search results. The last straw was when I started to hear about censorship and suppression of sources on DuckDuckGo. I switched to Startpage and the results seem much better. It’s probably using a larger company’s (Google?) index, but I haven’t done that deep of a dive.

Startpage pays Google to use their search engine. It's on their wikipedia.
