“Kagi Search” looks cool. The examples of searches look far superior to even that of google.
But it’s $5 per month. (No adds) Or $8 for couples. Even so I think I will try it. The search results look really good.
Has anyone here used Kagi Search?

The price seems reasonable IMO. Search engines are expensive to run, and I’m not sure they’d even be breaking even at the moment.
They have a “small web” search that searches through small sites like blogs, which I really like. Sometimes there’s small sites that have great info but aren’t ranked very high in Google due to all the SEO spam and Google’s preference for major sites.
I wanted to like Kagi, but their Brave fiasco turned me off of them for good
I’ve been paying for it for a few months now, I like it. You do have to be a more deliberate in search results, especially if you’re looking for location specific info, but that’s how old Google was too anyway. The summerize site and fastGPT features can be pretty useful too.
Just a silly example, I was playing skyrim and wanted a duplicate item so I could display it, put in “skyrim console command to spawn item” and it spit out the console command perfectly
I use it now, and like it. Do you have any questions about it?

I’ve been using it for the last few months, and while it doesn’t offer as many “nice to have” features as Google (like automatically finding mask results need in where you are), the core functionality works great, and the lack of ads is refreshing.
