Kagi Search - A Premium Search Engine
kagi.com
Kagi is an ad-free, premium search engine for people who value their time, attention and privacy. With results optimized to serve you and not the advertisers, Kagi is lightning fast and offers advanced features for customizing your search experience.

Basically the title.

I’m interested in any opportunity to inprove the way I navigate the internet. What I’ve been for a few years now is DDG, which works fine. Not great, not amazing, just fine. And that’s ok considering how they opperate.

I just heard about kagi and was really cosidering it. Makes sense as a business model (pay so we don’t have to sell you data), seems privacy respecting, and claims to strive for best search results in the market. Some test searches from the trial seem promising.

If you’ve used it for any amount of time, what has your experience been with it? What plan are you using? What are you mostly searching for?

Even you haven’t used it, any thoughts / opinions are welcome.

    Yeah +1 on Google Search becoming shit lately. I shifted to DDG for a while but settled on Brave Search for now. Their new AI summarizer is quite good and I like how they club Discussion posts together.

      Google’s results are often unusable now for anyone boycotting Reddit.

      For years I was annoyed by all the Google ads and junk websites that were just there for ads, behind paywalls, ai generated or trying to get me to buy something.

      To find anything of use I would often type in Reddit. Now they have nothing with their best results becoming more junk not to click on. Staying with Google makes it incredibly difficult to quit Reddit.

      DDG was great a few years ago and has steadily become shitter and shitter with time. Its still my default but I find myself banging to others more and more.
