Hmm if you're good at computer shit you could put up a custom Searxng instance and configure it to only search a certain subset of sources/websites. It'd be self-hosted so no google, you just need a domain and a vps to host it on.
Assuming you don't publicly list this instance on searx.space, you should be fine with a small vps. I don't see this thing having more than a dozen concurrent users so I wouldn't bother with a vps larger than 2gb of ram and 2 cpu . This should cost less than 10-20 bucks a month on vultr or digitalocean. Then you just need a domain, which can be as little as like 8 bucks a year depends on where you get it. So I'd estimate it would cost 80-120 a year to run.
