Qwant and Ecosia launch Staan, their search index as an alternative to Google

i have been anticipating this release for some time now. I am an avid user of ecosia and find the results passable in comparison to google. A couple of queries a week I am unsatisfied with and switch to google or a chatbot these days. I hope this new index is also comparable in quality and one step closer to a bit more competition in this market. Sadly, I could not find an official blog post or anything on the qwant news site..
