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”?

Same experience here. I used to try Kagi from time to time back before they cut down the free tier and the results seemed fine but not particularly noteworthy. The lack of ads is of course nice, but having all of my searches tracked under a single login gives me a bad feeling, especially with a company with such a manic and AI focused product strategy. They might be trustworthy now, but we've seen so many companies start out ethical and then change course once the money gets tight or they get more greedy.
