After a recent mention on HN I gave Kagi a try and subscribed for a few months. But after using it I'm really not sure why it get so much for the core "search", I found it so underwhelming that I would instinctively use the !g bang to just go right to Google.

It turns out that even though I can't stand the number of ads, Google is still much better at getting me an answer quickly (usually with the quick answer modules).

I was also surprised at the number of times Kagi came up with 0 search results, and while one of the draws for me was to have higher quality results instead of quantity, I still found a _ton_ of results for AI generated crappy top-10-list sites trying to sell me something.

Love the idea, and will probably check back in from time to time, but so far the execution just isn't there for me.
