I've recently started using a self hosted SearXNG instance but I'm still using the search engines enabled by default (google, duckduckgo and qwant). What search engines do you have enabled or which ones do you feel you've gotten the best results with?

Qwant. And occasionally Google and DuckDuckGo

Qwant for work and DDG for personal stuff

I am testing both for personal use right now, can you share your experience and how you came to the decision which to use for personal use and which for work?

Brave is surprisingly good

I use it daily. Just their account system with that fucked up login-by-email sucks hard. Especially since I have to refresh my session in multiple browsers on multiple devices.

(I use Premium for ad free search.)
