Kagi has a lot of features that seem “neat”. In fact, their pitch and feature set was enough to convince me to sign up. However, I haven’t been wowed by the service. I do not find there to be a noticeable difference above or below any other search engine I have used (all of which I would rank about the same).

I’m curious what other Kagi users are doing or finding that makes their experience so overwhelmingly positive. Is there some workflow I’m missing that’s required to get stupendous results? Are other search needs better met by Kagi that are missed by other search engines? Have others also felt a lack of “wow”?

A clean page of results that the search engine deems best [i.e., no antagonistic commercial interest driving priorities] for the query and the ability to block domains - that was enough for me. ‘Summarize this page’ is useful as well.

Do you find that this actually saves you time, and that you get to your desired search result faster? These sound like great features to me, but I haven’t found them translating to less time spent searching.
