It’s one of those tools where I have to say, “it doesn’t fit me but you’re doing something good in the world so keep going.”
I don’t do the kind of searches where Kagi is a lot better than Google (I bet folks here do).
On the searches I do want to do, i.e steaming movies, local business and map related, Kagi is not yet strong at. I kept having to !g.
So I’m back to Google which I find fits me better.
But I’m glad Kagi exists.
I use SearXNG by the way. Kagi is better but I like the way I can configure SearXNG.
I just tried it on Kagi and it suggested a Yelp link for restaurants in McKinney TX which is nowhere near where I am.
Google uses what it knows about you as context — which arguably many folks here are against— but it does get me the right results in one go.
