Brave search works well.

Does brave index data on it's own or is it pulled from Google/Bing?

    They do have their own crawler and I believe supplement from bing only when necessary. Something like 98% of results are from their own index across all users. They actually have a breakdown for every search.

    I think they actually have the largest independent index outside of Google/Bing right now.

    Others that exclusively use their own index are:

    Mojeek (results aren’t great)
    Kagi (result are pretty good imo)
