I’m definitely interested in this service, but I’ve seen some suspicion surrounding it.

Frustratingly, doing a search on that Changelog page for sources is mostly full of stuff not relevant to my search.
I did find a different post on Lemmy that talks about it, though. This post is incredibly thorough, and does an excellent job of undoing Kagi’s attempt to memory-hole the information about which sources they use.
This makes it all the more frustrating that Vlad refuses to re-add them, instead asking to know why we would care. Here’s a link to that conversation, which is on a platform controlled by Vlad, which appears to be resistant to archiving services that attempt to fetch those particular comments. Also for posterity:
Searching through kagi.com for “Yandex” yields a lot of dead links. The one living link is the Changelog, which says they added Yandex to their image search, back in December 2024… But that’s hardly a revelation. The changelog doesn’t go back very far either, AFAIK
As for the other links: Google says these links used to contain it the word, but I don’t know why. Maybe this one was for raised sites, maybe it was for lowered sites, which would at least give a little insight into whether users loved or hated the domain…
Another result seems to suggest Yandex Images served up a photo of Steve Jobs in a demo search, but that is no longer the case. Maybe it’s just a coincidence.

Very interesting.
You you for your efforts. Do you mind if I create a post in BestOfLemmy to share your findings and bring this to the attention of others? I feel this needs to be discussed.
Or do you have a more fitting place?

If you think this is worthy of sharing, please, feel free to share it! Just mention me so I can take a look :)

I think so and hope others do too. ^^ I hope I didn’t butcher this. Here it is: lemmy.world/post/25584230
