Yeah, for the the results of kagi are so much better than anything else, that it makes me wonder how objective can one be measuring search results.
I use google in a clients computer and it’s just horrible.
But it could also be a factor of the customizations I’ve made for my kagi. Ban quick a few paywalls sites, always put Wikipedia articles on top, prefer blogs than stackoverflow stuff…
I just tried it (free account), and it felt underwhelming, not many search results, or particularly interesting ones, for the image and video stuff I searched.
There was little to no spam, though, but not much to look at either. Maybe it might be useful when searching for stuff that usually has high amount of confusing spam, but otherwise not really useful for me...
But I can't do regexes, wildcards or anything like that as far as I can see, like I can in uBlacklist
And it seems like they also have a 1000 domain limit?
Kagi is just the best, it feels like Google did before a decade+ of enshittification and ad tech.
Did anyone notice that Kagi showed as barely better than Google in the article?

Kagi is still very weak for searching for videos and images. For those, I still use Google.
Kagi really shines when you are doing a standard search, though, which is what most people do most of the time.
