On Google if I search "Mens Boots" I immediately see lots of results from shops in Amsterdam and near me selling boots.

When I use DuckDuckGo the results are useless unless I add "Amsterdam" and then it only shows me Amsterdam results, instead of Google which would also show me shops from Germany etc. That has quick delivery times etc.

What are my options? (Non-American would be great)

I am not sure why qwant seems to get mentioned so frequently. My experience is that the search results are mediocre at best and they shove ads in your face on every page.

I highly recommend Kagi, I’ve been with them since basically the beginning and they have been fantastic. I do pay for their service, but the value proposition is absolutely there.

I've been fucking with kagi. And I like the results it seems more relevant to what I searched for.

It's fairly pricey though. $24/m for a family plan for me, with tax included. I don't mind some adds, and I can also use a add blocker.
