One thing I miss from Google is relatively seamless integration with maps. Sometimes the address queries just fail for me on Kagi. And even when they don’t, Google’s maps are still far more useful IMO.

!gm is one of my most frequently used bangs on kagi

Why do you use bangs and not keywords in the address bar? It's so much faster, no need to go to kagi first...

I have 10-20 keywords set up in Firefox for example. It works in chrome too.

But maybe I'm missing some use case for kagi bangs...

The real killer for me has been the fact that the keywords or bangs aren’t tied to a single platform/browser. I set them up once and they are available on my iPhone & iPad & 4 different browsers on the mac. Add this the fact that if you set Kagi as the search engine, you can perform all of these from the address bar already.

Aaaah, now it's clicking. This is indeed really cool.

I run into this sometimes, but there's nothing stopping me from !gmaps until I'm happier with kagi map results.
