I’m extremely happy with the results on Kagi. Setting up my own ‘page-rank’ with their search customizations is a godsend to get rid of any unwanted sites and promoted the sources I know I’ll come back to.
I’m a bit turned off the pricing though, especially since last month I blew through 1000 searches before the end of last month so currently back to Google, but frustrated by every second search or so.
This is my second month with them, but I have managed to stay under the 300 so far. Admittedly, I dont have it on my phone where I do quite a few searches throughout the day--but those searches are usually not-important or I want them to be tied into the google services (like maps). I should set it up though to get a true count of my web searches.
But I 100% find myself going to kagi for anything I really want an answer to. I can't think of a single time where I've had to fall back to google or bing (which I found myself doing all the time with duckduckgo and ecosia). Like I said, if I end up needing to spend $10+/month I'd gladly do it. I get more value out of kagi than I do half of the services I play for.
