I suspect that this is the direct result of AI generated content just overwhelming any real content.

I tried ddg, google, bing, quant, and none of them really help me find information I want these days.

Perplexity seems to work but I don't like the idea of AI giving me "facts" since they are mostly based on other AI posts

ETA: someone suggested SearXNG and after using it a bit it seems to be much better compared to ddg and the rest.

That really depends on your use case and how valuable web search is for your daily life.

I've personally tried Google, Bing, DDG, Brave search, and ChatGPT. Kagi is consistently able to find what I'm searching for more quickly and accurately than anything else, which has been very valuable for me in my personal and professional life.

It's easily worth the cost in result quality and time saving for me personally, but that doesn't mean the same will apply to you or anyone else.

As far as stand out features, there aren't really any that I can think of. It just gives me the results I'm looking for without any bullshit to wade through.
