I don't really like the relation between Qwant and Microsoft. (I personally use SearX)
The problem is, Bing and Google are kings of web crawling and aggregation of search results. And a third party can never match upto them due to lack of monetary capital and infrastructure. Therefore one has to rely on their results, whilst minimising tracking on you.
I research a lot, and that is how I get things done without using Google dot com or Bing dot com.
