I’ve also completely switched to Kagi and have been very happy - happy enough to pay for it. As is said so often: “it’s amazing what happens when _you_ are not the product”.

So happy with Kagi for general web search and news search, and it is the best search engine i use for those. Google still better for photos imo.

Best $10 I spend every month.

Photos, memes and inside references. The other day my girlfriend wanted to show me a Twilight meme, and asked me to search for “when the weather starts to feel like hah hah hah hah”.

Google instantly recognises it as a Twilight reference, presenting relevant TikToks, YouTube and images. Kagi, on the other hand, has no idea what is going on.

It’s a very specific case, and won’t make me stop using Kagi as my main search engine, but it’s a difference.

That's one of the reasons I love Kagi, I much prefer signal to noise.

Same. It's really the "just take my money" service. I'd pay even if I would fit in the free quota.
