I apologize if this is old news, but I just noticed it. It looks like Kagi has added Fediverse Forums as a default Web search option.

What non-american search engine do you use?
Qwant. It’s French.
And Qwant is really great! Have been using og for a couple of years, and have no need to fall back to Google, DDG etc.
It uses Bing in the backend though.
Yes, but not fully. They have their own index as well. They have also recently started a partnership with Ecosia to focus more on that effort.
Startpage.com
Better than qwant in my opinion.
https://metager.org/ is run by a German non-profit. Since late last year it’s pay to use because their advertising partner (Yahoo) cancelled their contract without warning. But it’s cheaper than Kagi. Also the non-profit is part of the project that’s building the European OpenWebIndex ( https://ows.eu/ ) that’s releasing this year.
I used it a Little before it became pay to use and I was honestly impressed by search results (I was used to ddg, ecosia and qwant atp and mainly use ddg)
