Could you reccomend one? My attempts to use anything but google have been a disaster, all the other google front ends and engines are even worse than google is.
If you don't use Google directly you will suffer a speed penalty to all your searches.
You can try using an alternative index like Brave Search (but it is also proprietary with AI junk). I've been using 4get myself for a couple weeks now and have found no problems with it. Be advised that these meta engines can always get rate-limited or blocked at any time.
If you just want an always works solution then you can use DuckDuckGo's HTML interface (html.DuckDuckGo.com) which, while using Bing's search index and has vowed to censor Russian sources, is the most painless route. This is NOT the default DuckDuckGo site this is the HTML only version with no JS.
