There’s a search engine called Kagi and I’ve noticed Lemmy users trying to verbify it by using ‘kagis’ like people use ‘googles’ to mean they used a search engine to try to find some information.

Just stop. It’s dumb. Just say ‘I searched the Internet’ or something. ‘Kagis’ is not going to catch on. It’s not going to be a thing and it doesn’t need to be.

    An on-the-fence take: Kagi calls it fetch(ing).

    I love Kagi. If you want to war against Google, I think it's effective to say you "googled" something, then show a screenshot of Kagi; Kleenexify google, water down the brand.

    Are you sure it's not just one person doing this?

    I don't know, I feel like saying 'kagis' makes you streets ahead of the rest.

    We really need a single word, given how often it comes up. I just use "search" pretty often, but it is ambiguous.
