Unless you work at Kagi I am not taking that too seriously.
I do, we don't log searches.
So if the feds stop by you have nothing to hand over. That sounds great, but legally dubious. Aren't you required to keep a log?
Thanks for the info nonetheless. I think I'll give it a shot and maybe don't look up how to get rid of bodies - for a friend. Oh, damn, did it again.

#643Good to see DuckDuckGo's Bang syntax [1] has become commonplace with alt search engines. Following convention, Kagi lets you append !g to divert the search on Google. A simple escape hatch like that is worthwhile as Google is often superior for local-area searches, in my experience. I've dabbled with a multitude of search engines recently and that is one thing badly missing from Bing. 1. https://duckduckgo.com/bangs
It's rather unfortunate that this unergonomic convention of requiring shifted far away 1 key spread , this should be customizeable to some better ,comma prefix or something
Hah fair point. It's like when people set their Vim leader to , or ; instead of ESC.

>It feels really nice using products that respect me, as opposed to services that are actively hostile because of advertisers. Hot take, but IMO Windows has far more respect for the user than Linux does. Everything is far more QA'd (and designed to be QA-able) and at least tries to minimise user frustration. There are exceptions to this, like "suggestions" in the Start menu, but outside of this it's designed in a use…

I feel like windows is deliberate about being user hostile. Just because they're very slick about being user hostile doesn't make it any different.
Linux feels like someone with my best interests at heart made a good attempt and half succeeded.

> it's easy to click "block this domain" Friendly reminder that google had this feature a decade ago then removed it. Hopefully someone in the C-Suite got a few back pats for that decision. https://searchengineland.com/google-brings-back-blocking-sit...
This seems the most obvious value add feature for search results at both an individual level and for reviewing overall moderation. I wonder what possible logic there could be to not allow it? The only one I can think of is they don't want bridgading to create a wider system block but that seems easily enough to resolve.
Eventually someone was going to create an easy to list/share/subscribe list that individuals could easily add to their personal Google domain block list. Think EasyList.
At that point they would be bleeding ad revenue as all the nasty, fake, abusive, spammy websites would be insta blocked.
Imagine being able to add a list and all of a sudden half the SEO blogs are excluded from results. Assuming Google even allows it, they would then have to work even harder to find relevant content to your search query. They can't rely on throwing a huge wall of semi-relevant results that you have to wade through, generating ad impressions as you go along.

#647Has someone tried using Kagi extensively in non-english languages ? I wonder how well my family would adopt it, and it depends heavily on this

What an inspiring post. I'm like on the Nebula step already - will follow your path though :D

You 'installed' OpenStreetMaps?!

#650Kagi seems cool, but I haven't felt that google search is so bad that I'd pay ~120/year for search. I think Google's also heard the discontent around search results lately and has been trying to improve - eg. I get relevant Reddit results now without needing to specify that into my query. I personally haven't found cases where the results are so bad I would rather start paying, but would be interested to hear specific examples to open my eyes if people have them.
