Pity it can't subtract time. > 16:28 - 14:50 = 22 hours and 22 minutes although, Google never could not too.
To me it seems to compute number of hours in the interval between those times.

#22I love using WA as a calculator since it's so good at handling units.
Silly example: I just tried "average distance to moon/Eiffel Tower height" in Kagi and got "= about 1.167 million" (powered by WA).

#23The steve jobs example has a typo, "place of dearth" ( https://kagifeedback.org/assets/files/2024-03-05/1709652268-... )
Morbidly, it's still true.

#24How do new search engines like Perplexity and Kagi avoid getting rate limited or hitting captchas as they build and maintain their indexes? Sites have to make exceptions for Google, but likely wouldn’t care enough to allow other search engines in.
I’m fairly sure Kagi reuses Google and Bing search results, then de-craps and applies your customized preferences to them. I’m not sure it even runs its own spider.

I believe Kagi just pays to use Google's and Microsoft's indexes.

Good to know! This will help in figuring out when reading the news and they describe everything in tennis courts , school buses and football fields. How do you convert from tennis court to school bus?

#28> To ensure result quality, we automatically downrank pages with advertising and tracking, which are often associated with low-quality or machine-generated content.
That is one of the most compelling things I've ever heard about a search engine.
How well does kagi work for niche "reddit queries" like "best waterproof midi synthesizers reddit"?

I don't use kagi. On WA, this search results in the answer with a prompt with the engine's assumptions, and includes a link to change the assumption to "math" from "word."
These prompts don't show on kagi? Seems like including them would be an avenue for improvement.

Kagi's internal index seems to focus on sites that wouldn't necessarily block spiders.

I've crawled small web sites (even hosted on major providers) to archive them and never hit a wall.
