If you’re listening Cliqz, I (and I believe others) would pay $50-100 a month for a search engine that gave me the ability to blacklist sites. I think this alone could solve the biggest problem I have with google which is the reversion to the (what appears to be regressive) mean of the internet today.

I'd pay a subscription fee given that none of my digital fingerprints is being logged.
But is Cliqz a search engine, or is it a web browser with a search bar set to a default search engine (or a Firefox extension that accomplishes the same thing). Cliqz bought Ghostery to acquire a pool of privacy-conscious users. The goal is to show them ads. Not sure how excited they will be about that.

That Cliqz is trying to actually build a new search stack is commendable.

By selling ads solely against the query, and figuring out a way to track conversions against generated unique referring URL instead of using cookies. Maybe it's less profitable, but it might still be profitable, and it gives you a foothold.

How many real alternatives exist, though? DuckDuckGo is based on Bing, afaik. So there are Google and Bing - any others?
There are also Baidu and Yandex, which dominate China and Russia, respectively. https://www.baidu.com https://yandex.com Qwant is a France-based search engine that has a similar privacy focus to DuckDuckGo. https://www.qwant.com Million Short tries to find sites that other search engines miss. https://millionshort.com Wikipedia has a more comprehensive list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines
Might put a link to actual search engine on the article. Good article though !

There is an autocorrect feature and it's even described in the article. Or you mean something else?
They mean auto complete.

I have always thought DuckDuck were doing their own searches.
