What search engine should I use instead of Google? (lemm.ee)

On Google if I search "Mens Boots" I immediately see lots of results from shops in Amsterdam and near me selling boots.

When I use DuckDuckGo the results are useless unless I add "Amsterdam" and then it only shows me Amsterdam results, instead of Google which would also show me shops from Germany etc. That has quick delivery times etc.

What are my options? (Non-American would be great)

Nothing beats Google so you can use European based Startpage just like how DuckDuckGo is based on Microsoft Bing.

It doesn't have to beat google, it just has to be close enough not to be annoying or not function properly.

Using Startpage still supports google, which is what I want to stop doing as much as possible.

It’s like saying supporting Google by using Brave which is Chromium.
