>> Kagi seems to work pretty well.

free for 100 searches. $5/month for 300 searches $10/month for 1,000 searches

I'm not at the point where I feel DDG and Bing are so bad I want to start paying to get better search results. I'd be interested to see how many people are there though.




I am not sure I am doing more than ~33 searches a day lately so probably the $10 plan will suit me fine. I think I do something like anywhere from 5 to 20 a day.

But I too started getting disgusted by "everything is a subscription" but I might jump the train if I like Kagi enough.

Because apparently the internet companies can't figure out an ad model that's not extremely toxic and does not trample on every single privacy rule the world has (and the 100x more that the world still doesn't have but should not be broken anyway because they should be a moral / ethical no-brainer but alas, go tell that to the "money above everything" types).

But finally, after decades, all the VCs funding internet companies that planned to capture the market with network effects and then start charging, are showing their true colors. I am glad. It makes them more honest and gives the users better information to act on.


Doesn't privacy bother you? Tightening your Kagi search query log to credit card sounds privacy invasive to me.


There is no search log on Kagi and there is no incentive for Kagi to have one (it is only a liability with no benefit).

Without proof there could be only trust.


It does. Sadly I don't see a way out.

Us the nerds just practiced endless bikeshedding and the corporations took over everything in the meantime. Oh, let's not forget the people who kept inventing LISP dialects BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE WORLD NEEDED!
