Funny story: Earlier this week, my Kagi results when to shit. If I made the slightest spelling mistake in a query, it would return nothing. Often it would just return nothing for a query where google would return millions of results.

It got so bad that I started getting in the habit of typing 'g' in front of searches to go straight to google, but then I was hit with the usual google issues of SEO sites, spam sites and low-quality results.

I wanted to cry in frustration because my wonderful Kagi experience was suddenly gone, and was furiously typing up a support ticket when I noticed that the "verbatim" choice was somehow permanently selected, after I tried it a few days ago.

Lessons learned:

1. Kagi really is hugely superior to google as a daily search engine

2. "Verbatim" should not be a sticky choice, or at least Kagi should enclose "verbatim" results (or lack thereof) in a bright pink frame or something.
