#KagiSearch

While I like using @kagihq, I wonder a bit about the underlying mechanics.

Initially, my impression was that they had their own search index. I implemented SEO on my project, Recordfy, and now I see my results on Google. I can also see in the logs how the Google crawler moves through the sitemap entries.

Now, all of a sudden, my search entries appear on Kagi as well. So, are they just an aggregator like @duckduckgo?

WalletHub did a good job in putting together lots of evidence from the Google search trial, consumer surveys, and other experts, to explain the decline of Google Search quality in relation to its monopoly power. #Google #searchengines #DuckDuckGo #KagiSearch

Happy to see my commentary as part of this report: wallethub.com/blog/google-qual

kagi.comKagi SearchBetter search results with no ads. Welcome to Kagi (pronounced kah-gee), a paid search engine that gives power back to the user.

I've started to use kagi as my main search engine and it's an amazing experience. Ten years ago, I didn't imagine I'd one day be paying for a search engine, but as the main ones got so enshittified, bloated, full of unrelated promoted stuff and AI mess over the years, it came to this.

I know kagi is just a reseller of search results, but they're clean and concise search results. And it does offer many customizations via gui presets, not weird URL tricks and/or keywords.

Also, it's AI quick answer feature is actually helpful most of the time, unintrusive, and offers mostly relevant links.

Thanks to @shine who got me hooked! I'd still love to have some free, OSS, privacy friendly solution with no login, but the more complex the digital world becomes in some areas, the less such options are there 🙁
