IMO DuckDuckGo is the obvious choice of who to partner with. DDG already focuses on privacy as a defining feature, its why I use then as my primary search engine.

Rev share on searches that come through Firefox?

I think they already do. I know they rev share with distros that ship it as the default search engine in their browser packages.

Unfortunately they lack a lot of the features that make Google useful.

Almost nobody uses those features, useful though they may be.

I use that feature almost every day.
