    At this point I am wondering if I should pay for one of those $30/month search engines just to be sure they won’t put only sponsored sites to visible areas.

    Problem with that is experience tells me subscription model products always go worse over time.

      There are only 2 relevant web crawlers that everyone inferences either directly or indirectly. Everything is going through Google or Microsoft. These are not providing deterministic results. It is quite likely that there is no such thing as private results. If two people using two separate devices can get different results for the same query, there is no freedom of information and democracy is dead. Paying any privateer overlord to make the fascist system more palpable is pointless.
