I too use Kagi but it's worth noting that Kagi gets most of its results by paying and using other search engines including Google and Bing, so it's not 100% independent or immune from say Bing's outage. Still the best option by far though.
It could become independent with sufficient funding. I think that's part of the idea.
Though, being able to use other indexes is likely still helpful.
