This is the SearxNG instance I currently use:
Low latency, has the options I need, and I appreciate the defaults of leaving the query in the URL and in the page title.
SearXNG is a meta-search engine. You can use it as a front-end to one or multiple search engines such as DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, Qwant, ..., it only depends on what your instance makes available.
