Kagi Update: AI Image Filter for Search Results

For those who haven't jumped ship to Kagi, there's a uBlacklist feed which strips out most big sites dedicated to AI images, with an optional extra "nuclear" feed which also knocks out sites that aren't strictly dedicated to AI images but do have a very large proportion of them.

Still, give Kagi a chance. I don't work for them, I don't have friends who work for them, I'm just a guy who uses Kagi and will never look back. It isn't expensive and it's SO worth it.

I was a paid Kagi user.

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.

The strange thing is that kagi gets most of its search results from other providers like brave, bing and I believe even Google. It should be able to find those things.

I use SearXNG by the way. Kagi is better but I like the way I can configure SearXNG.

Try looking for your a local Thai restaurant in your area. Kagi doesn’t profile you so it doesn’t know where you are, so any local searches involve adding a keyword or doing the search a second time with !g.

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.

Kagi does let you opt-in your location to improve searches. So there is a way and the user is in full control.
