> This seems cool, but I still think the pricing of kagi is rather steep. It is $5/mo for 300 searches a month, which is really going to get you under 10 a day... That's insufficient.

You can split your searches with search engine shortcuts on the desktop, and the search engine quickbar on mobile.

When I still was on the starter plan, I used Kagi whenever I had a search that if I use google, I know I will:

- get a bunch of listicles and AI slop (Kagi downranks and bundles these)

- get a buch of AI images (again, Kagi clearly labels and downranks these)

- have to do multiple google searches for, but can instead use Quick Answer for

- will get a bunch of Reddit pre-translated results for

- technical / scientific questions, because of the sites I can uprank/downrank/block

I used google for things like:

- highest building in the world

- $bandname Wikipedia / Discogs

- name of thing I can't remember but have the approximate word for

You get the idea.
