Another Bing reskin. Put it with the Duckduckgo, Ecosia, and the others.
If you want something that actually operates on something new under the hood consider https://marginalia-search.com/ which operates out of Sweden (though has a feature set more resembling early to mid 00s google).
If you want a european operated google reskin. Try https://startpage.com/ from the netherlands.
I understand the preference for completely independent search engines. But these private search engines that don’t sell your data and use google/bing API are still a massive step up from just using google/bing.
Personally I use duckduckgo (bing API) to search websites, and startpage (Google API) to search images.
That website you shared is cool. I’m going to bookmark it. But it’s performance is massively inferior to commercial search engines unfortunately. And it keeps your IP and searches for 24 hours, which is a little inferior to a no logs policy. I love that it prioritises non-commercial results though!

For anyone wondering how to use Startpage image search through the URL line: In Vivaldi, the URL string to use is: https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?cat=images&q=%25s
If you’re using another browser, you may need to replace the placeholder string “%s” by a different one.
Mojeek is also a very good alternative, from the UK 🇬🇧 - however, it is keyword based, so there’s that.
This is not really true.
