Getting unhappy about DuckDuckGo (lemmy.ca)

For several years I've been using DuckDuckGo instead of Google Search, and I've been overall quite happy with the results. Only rarely had I to resort to Google search (!g).

During the last month or two, however, I've found myself using the !g switch and Google search more than half of the time. DuckDuckGo shows no or few results where Google shows more (and useful) ones.

Still I don't want to give in. So:

Have you also experienced this worsening of DuckDuckGo?
Which other more privacy-respecting alternatives do you recommend?

I use it all the time, just wish they had an image search tab. That's the only thing I switch search engines for now.
