Any suggestions for an effective search engine that doesn't try to take
over my life please?

I've been using https://duckduckgo.com for years as I'm really not keen
on Googles search algorithm or their ethics.
The lite version, https://lite.duckduckgo.com , seems to work well with
the lynx CLI web browser, and probably others.

I tried DuckDuckGo, but didn't like it.

I'd suggest https://www.startpage.com/ which uses Google's database but without all the Google spying and cross-promotion. It's even better if you're adblocking as you lose the sponsored search results.
Brave's adblocking is good, otherwise try uBlock Origin.
Google are engaging shady anti-adblocking antics in Chrome/ium at the
moment, so I'd also suggest uBO+Firefox.
