I use DDG for all searches, and do occasionally go to the second page of results (and sometimes even the third). When I do, I either find what I was looking for there or figure out what I might want to change or exclude from the search for

It was on PIA, when I used them (stopped when I heard about the sale to Kape), so I'd assume it still is. Mullvad also does this. Here's their server status page, so you can see your options: https://mullvad.net/en
