> With Kagi, for the first time in history of search engines, you are the customer and everything is built around you and your needs alone. There have been several others that attempted this. They didn't succeed. But they're not the first. I'm using SearXNG myself, which is quite similar to Kagi in that it combines search results from the other big parties (google, bing, brave). It's not quite as configurable (e.g. c…

The fast food restaurant sign is usually 300 times larger than the road name sign, if there even is a road name sign. I have never been able to see any road name sign from the car.

#23I’ve been very happy with Kagi, though I did eventually downgrade from the Ultimate to the regular plan as ChatGPT Plus added more usability features (memory, preprompts, voice conversations, etc). I’ll have to check the article to see if there are hints, but it’d be nice to have more reason for the big price jump going forward than goodwill and the advanced models. But regular Kagi is one of those “take it out of my…

Neeva was one. https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/20/23731397/neeva-search-eng...
Aware of Neeva - Kagi was founded 3 years before it.

> Unfortunately Osmand is just not a great interface for most of my needs, and has no Android Auto support, either.
This is probably not relevant to you (as I think it also does not have android auto) but there is also OSM app called Organic Maps.

Yeah that was one I was thinking of. I didn't know it was more recent, it feels like ages ago. But also altavista, it was very customer centric, though it was free. But it was basically just a demonstration of digital's expertise and it did feel like they wanted it to serve the customer as well as possible.
And I thought DuckDuckGo had plans for a paid search experience at some point.
But now that in think of it I'm not so sure, sorry. Sorry for positing incorrect info.

They do, though my experience was it wasn’t really a comparable experience to app-accessed ChatGPT. Of course, you do have many more models to choose from, but I’m pretty sure I’m inclined to just align on one.
I will admit I never saw the custom instructions option though, which would have covered pre-prompting.

Like the parent commenter, I use Kagi’s summarizer all the time: it has become an integral part of my online filtering process.

Thanks for confirming, I was just genuinly curious if I missed one. I know browsers had a history of being paid, but no search engines before Kagi.
Re: What's Next for Kagi?
#30I have a single feature i miss from Kagi - optional search history - i sometimes find myself unable to find exactly that article/bloggpost/documentation i found using some search words i don't remember from last week.
Please upvote this suggestion I just made on Kagi's feedback forum:
https://kagifeedback.org/d/4065-query-personal-search-histor...
I recently used my old Google search history to find something from 2022 (two years ago) and 2017 (seven years ago).
