I miss previous messages but I have to mention that network services
aren't free or nonfree; they raise other issues:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/network-services-arent-free-or-nonfree.html
I personally use DuckDuckGo and sometimes Searx. They both work with
JavaScript disabled and are fast and promoted to be more private than
other ones but I guess we can never be sure as they are installed and
run on other people's computers so we can't actually verify the program.
Also, there's some other search services I like such as SwissCows.com.
