have you tried searchpage or searxng? i think they use google (while searxng also use other search engines) beyond the scenes.
I've been dogfooding Searxng for a week or so now and I'm sold on it over DDG and certainly over Google. Besides good results out of the box and being selfhosted so I have some search privacy (sorta), you can tune it to get better results for your particular situation.
Setup was a quick docker compose and env file, and then add it to FF with a rightclick on the URL bar to set it up in my search engines.
i am using a public instance right now, might host one in the future. its just been two days since i started using it and i am still trying to get accustomed to it.
