Still, give Kagi a chance. I don't work for them, I don't have friends who work for them, I'm just a guy who uses Kagi and will never look back. It isn't expensive and it's SO worth it.
Switched about ten months ago and it’s been so good I forget it’s even not Google sometimes.
For those who haven't jumped ship to Kagi, there's a uBlacklist feed which strips out most big sites dedicated to AI images, with an optional extra "nuclear" feed which also knocks out sites that aren't strictly dedicated to AI images but do have a very large proportion of them. https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

Dunno if vlad can see this, but https://kagi.com/images?q=baby+peacock ...shows that infamous AI-generated peacock image multiple times on the first row of results. Merely filtering out websites that tend to have lots of AI images does not prevent this failure case, since (for example): https://birdfact.com/articles/baby-peacocks has the fake image in there, as an example of "What does a baby peacock not look like?"…

If you forget it's not Google, I don't want to sign up. I want something that reminds me all the time that it's not Google, mainly by its ability to actually find the things I search for.

Just don't search for "baby peacock". The AI filter is no match for the famous baby peacock, I say that because the AI pictures are actually now shown because they are part of articles discussing AI generated photos.

Same, best digital product I’ve spent money on in a long time. It’s an improvement over Google, and well worth the price.
However, I do have to say that, when I was looking for a very specific post, I spent around twenty minutes on Google and DDG and they came back with trash, whereas Kagi found it right away. In that one instance it was, indeed, fantastic.

Do you have any example to share? (we do not hear this feedback frequently so want to make sure we address it, thanks!)
It’s hard to put it into solid feedback and examples, because it is highly subjective. But I also find the image results from Kagi lacking, while I really enjoy the text based results. Especially for more specific queries, the image search just doesn’t hold up. I just tried generating an example. Take the query “screenshot nero burning rom windows xp” - of the first 10 images, only 6 are screenshots of the program on…
To make it easier for you to report any discrepancies I created a bug report with screenshots of what I see.
