I'll second this, I can hardly recommend any subscription more than Kagi.

Despite the numbers, I'm always surprised when someone still uses G search... it's drowned in ads and exploitative results. Kagi lets you modify the weights of individual sites or even block them, so you can filter out blogspam and clickbait sites instantly. Best of all, it even has a leaderboard for most-blocked and most-promoted domains so you can literally just go down the list of some of the worst sites and block them before you ever see them in a search result.

I can second this. Although my queries per month are limited due to using free tier, they almost always get relevant results for technical questions. If Google keeps getting worse, I'll switch to Kagi's paid tier. The LLM demo they briefly made available a few months ago was also impressive.

kagi is great. It's overpriced, but if you are willing to pay the premium for unlmimited searches (you run out really quickly or aviod doing searches otherwise with the normal plan), it's really good
