One that would only use free software I believe, and privacy is also an
important factor to keep in mind.

So far I haven't found any.

The crawler software and web interface is run by the search engine
provider in the server side, and being private software it is not free
or non-free since it is never distributed.

Indeed, but not related at all with software freedom. You can try
duckduckgo.com, it has a good privacy policy.

I don't wanna be of topic, but any of you has any idea if duckduckgo.com has an encryption (https) option like https://www.google.com ?

EDIT:
I should have looked better, https://duckduckgo.com/ works.
