$5 a month is really not expensive, though. That's less than the price of a AAA game for a full year. Google is only free because they make their money selling user data. How cheap does a good search engine need to be?

    I'm not considering the 300 searches plan, I bust that basically instantly. The minimum plan I can use is the $10 USD, which is about $14 CAD.

    That's wild to me; I feel like I search a lot, and I only go over the 300 searches rarely. Those few times I do, it's painless to just start the cycle a few days early.

    I'm not who you replied to, but in the same boat as him. I burn through 300 in a week, let alone a month. In my kagi settings I can see I make around 1100 searches each month. That 300 limit is just not possible for me

    Interesting! I guess I must search a lot less than I feel like I do. I do some things like type in URLs rather than searching for a known URL, and going to Wikipedia directly and then searching there; maybe that stuff helps more than I'd think? Or maybe we just use the Internet differently, which is fine too.

    ah, yeah, I am not sure I have ever seen a website have decent search of its own so I use Kagi for basically every search lol. I just enter my query then add "site:site.com" to the end to limit it to results from that site

    You also probably don't use it for spell check when a random system doesn't have it built in. I mean, I totally don't do that.... 🤣

    Haha if I did I'd just go to wkitionary.com and search there or something
