I use the '4get' proxy search engine, which lets you use pretty much every search engine under the sun, for both websites and images. It's really useful because it is faster than google, and if you need to find some pages you can just change the search engine quickly.

It is open source and there are many instances available, I use '4get.bloat.cat' or '4get.lunar.iu'

It is a better alternative to SearX for sure
