I'm not sure there is a way to create a search engine that can verifiably respect your privacy unless you were to self-host the entire thing. This one's hosted in France. France is part of Nine Eyes, among other things.
Private.sh encrypts queries on the client side and routes requests thru proxies to maximize privacy.
I've been trying to get search results for months now, and Qwant just fails everytime with a white screen of death. See screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/jUv6vm0 I've even tried with different IPs / VPN connections and it still refuses to show results. Surely I'm not the only user who experiences this?
However, it works if you use a non-English language:

https://lite.qwant.com/?l=en&q=foobar https://lite.qwant.com/?l=es&q=foobar
This was posted in another thread, but I'd never seen it before. French-made. Results seem just as good as Google, PutLocker searchers work, and it's as privacy-respecting as DDG. I've been using it all day and I'm happy with the results, so I thought I'd share.
It's Open-source, it's a search engine (they have their own crawler and their own index) and it's private!!!

Not as sexy as the high-minded front organizations that reskin it, but it'd be nice if we could be honest with ourselves about the beasts we were feeding.

As I posted on another comment I think that happens because you have disabled Javascript and there seems to be a bug for English. If you use JS (as done for your Google search) it returns results as expected.
Edit: saw your other message, doesn't work in English because of a bug
