Hmm, and apparently you can also ask it to block shit like pinterest from your search results?
Being able to set up custom search weights would be cool. Like up-weighting results from sites you like and down-rating sites you don't.
Just chiming in here. My experience is: * Google search was good, but has been steadily getting worse. Over the last 1-3 years it's become actively unplesant. * DDG solves a lot of privacy issues, but the search quality is strictly worse than Google. I know people who use it preferentially, and I respect that, but personally Google search is already so bad than opting for something even worse is hard for me to accept…
That said, I agree, Kagi is an upgrade over both.
I really can't make clear enough how good Kagi is. I've tried all the competing emerging search engines as they've had their 5 minutes of fame. They don't compare to kagi. it's the first google rip and replace I've ever tried. Pony up the $10 a month and put your money where your mouth is on "let's pay for products instead of being sold to advertisers."

They also “do not log searches or in any way tie them to an account”. So you essentially have to make the same leap of faith as you would with a commercial VPN.

Aren't your Kagi searches tied to a payment method? That it doesn't exploit you in every way possible is commendable, but stating that it "solves the privacy issues" is a long stretch.
A fair call, but to quote their privacy policy: > Unlike "free" search engines, we do not log searches or in any way tie them to an account. So if you trust them to do what they say, then yes, that pretty much solves the issue. If not, well...
