      I’ll check it out. Any opinion of it over something like duckduckgo?

        It usually has better results. The features alone, however, put it above DDG.

        Rankings aren’t static. You can block a site, pin it to the top of results, or just derank/promote it.

        Want to redirect a domain? You can do that.

        Want to see specific results? Like LDFs only, or maybe just small web, educational, news stories, forums, or whatever? Use a lens!

        Love AI summaries? You can use them! Hate AI summaries? Don’t worry, they’re off by default and require you to press the small “Summarize” button.

        You probably understand bangs, right? Using !w will search Wikipedia. You probably also know that some sites, such as Reddit, have shit results so using !r would be worthless. Kagi supports bangs but also has what they call “snaps” - if you type @w, it will be replaced with site:wikipedia.com.

        Oh, yeah, one more thing. No ads. There are no risks of misaligned interests between you, Kagi, and their advertisers.

        I like lens feature a lot. I also use their privacy pass feature quite a bit. Overall there are a lot of really nice features and search results as good or better than Google. DDG uses bing which is junk IMO

    Mostly Qwant but I also run an instance of searxng (google does not respond to it though).
