You can always set up a Searxng instance and configure it to use as many or as few search engines as you like. It doesn't pull in the AI results.
Duckduckgo has always gotten me whatever I need, so their lite version can be used alongside ublock origin on Firefox for an AI free ad free search. But hey, if you're not finding what you like, I'd say give the searxng solution a try.

That's all I could find 
I haven't broken and paid for Kagi yet (or done the free trial) but between metacrawler and mojeek, mojeek gave me better results.

It's explicit goal is to be anti-ai and non-commercial. It's also open source so you can run your own crawler. It's a small operation so it'll probably be slow.
