You can either pay for a service, or that service will utilise every single aspect of it to monetise you.

I’ll let Kagi prove itself as a viable option for a year or two before I jump on board.

It’s been around for awhile. I’ve paid for it for over a year and will continue to do so as long as they remain committed to fetching good results and allowing anonymous accounts

I haven’t used them for all the intervening time, but archive.org has the website clearly running in November 2020 as a “privacy-respecting search engine” with accounts, albeit no dog logo yet. Maybe for some time prior to that, but the archive.org crawler got a “desktop not supported yet” error for some time prior to that (which…hmm… mactually makes me think that it might be useful for archive.org to also archive the mobile versions of websites, though in most cases the content is probably largely the same). WP has them founded in 2018.
They’re obviously a lot younger than, say, Google, but they’ve also been running for a while.

I tried Kagi, and hated its results so I cancelled. I don’t understand the love for it I see online. I enjoy self hosting searxng, where I can configure it for myself or family, for our needs. I also am a fan of marginalia, both which cost me nearly $0 a month, and work wonderfully. I’d rather invest in supporting them through time and money than a corporation like Kagi.

Every service that goes paid eventually does ads too.
