I haven’t used them for all the intervening time, but archive.org has the website clearly running in November 2020 as a “privacy-respecting search engine” with accounts, albeit no dog logo yet. Maybe for some time prior to that, but the archive.org crawler got a “desktop not supported yet” error for some time prior to that (which…hmm… mactually makes me think that it might be useful for archive.org to also archive the mobile versions of websites, though in most cases the content is probably largely the same). WP has them founded in 2018.
They’re obviously a lot younger than, say, Google, but they’ve also been running for a while.

It’s been around for awhile. I’ve paid for it for over a year and will continue to do so as long as they remain committed to fetching good results and allowing anonymous accounts
