Appreciate you linking in your blog post. I've been on the fence about Kagi and you bring up a lot of good points informed by sources I'm unlikely to delve into.

    To put you back on the fence, it had the best algorithm when I tested it some time ago. It showed me things I wanted by default. Google always needs some massaging and ddg needs a !g

    Yeah no im with the above user on this one. I have used kagi for over a year now and have never needed to use another search engine to find something

    Same here.

    Finding actual answers or at least able to point me in the right direction is way better than any of the other search engines I’ve tried.

    DDG, Google, Bing, SearchNX, Ecosia, Brave, and probably some more, they just aren’t even in the same ball field for the things I look up personally.

    I've been using Ecosia for a few months now and sadly I'm not having the best experience either. For mainstream stuff it gives good results, but once I search for obscure phrases or god forbid another language, it often just completely gives up and doesn't show a single result. It pains me to say that I more reliably get usable results from Google's Web search (so with the AI crap removed) than from Ecosia with Google set as its results provider.
