DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia are the two big ones that tend to come up in these kind of questions, although there's a handful of smaller search platforms out there as well. Bing is even worse than Google at this point. If I recall correctly Ecosia uses a custom search algorithm but still relies mostly on Google's index at this time, DuckDuckGo is entirely independent.

    If I recall correctly it queries the Bing API among other niche sources for indexing and acts as a proxy for ad purposes, so while there's a lot of Bing results, it's not one-to-one. Unless they changed things recently, it's possible I missed a press release.
