What search engine should I use instead of Google? (lemm.ee)

On Google if I search "Mens Boots" I immediately see lots of results from shops in Amsterdam and near me selling boots.

When I use DuckDuckGo the results are useless unless I add "Amsterdam" and then it only shows me Amsterdam results, instead of Google which would also show me shops from Germany etc. That has quick delivery times etc.

What are my options? (Non-American would be great)

In Spain I have to put .es at the end for local results.

However, I use Amazon to source the product I want then find the resellers website and buy directly from them.

My last purchase like that was an 80kg capacity bike trailer that was delivered from Germany and cost the exact same, and the company didn't have to give Bezos any cut.
