It's a shame that their $5 tier is only 300 searches/month, or 10 searches per day. It's kind of ridiculously low. I could burn through half of that in a single day of debugging
Also I just tried it and you can't really search for porn
that's because you're a computer professional and the professional plan is more appropriate for you.
I gave a hundred searches to some normies I know and they told me that they save them to use when Google can't find what they want because Kagi works better (!) so they hoard the searches as backups to Google.
All I know is that I haven't used Google on purpose for a year and it's really turned into an eyesore
Unlimited is only $10, more than worth it for me.
I will try it for more technical queries, but the results seem to be worse than Google/DDG. The reverse image search sucks and has never returned a single result for me. I suppose the advantage is that it whitelists/blacklists against spam, but it frequently comes up empty handed. So maybe it needs to crawl/scrape the web deeper or it needs a better search algorithm or trust model.
I could probably get better results by crawling the web myself at home.
Heh, that's one of the more aggressive "how hard can it be?!" that I've seen in a while
I invite you to look at the number of threads of people complaining about Cloudflare locking their perfectly normal browser out of a stupid amount of the Internet and then carefully consider how you would circumvent those anti-bot controls
