I've used Kagi (and you.com) a bit, and I'm amazed at how much better the results were for the few queries I made. It wasn't blogspam any more, I got actual articles from actual sites. Hopefully I'll keep using them, but Google is overdue a disruption.
Founder here. Thanks for submitting it, but I am afraid there is not much to see right now. We are still in closed beta (mostly to control cost and gradually improve user experience), with much more left to do. There are some examples of what Kagi can do in my twitter feed. [1] Main idea of Kagi is to offer a paid search product, where user is also the customer and is central to everything that happens. Btw. Kagi is…
Can you Guarantee the privacy of searches and that you will never sell search history data?
Disclaimer : haven't done a deep project yet ( new software stack or deep bug fix for example ).
Would pay for a neutral search engine, right now ( and I have no subscriptions atm, not even NF ).

Would you mind telling us a little of the story about Kagi the company behind the product?
It’s really interesting to hear that you’re using Crystal. Where are you guys based and how have you bootstraped?
Good luck and keep at it, this is a really interesting project.
omg they let me apply from/to dates on search results, I'm in love just got my invite after a couple days of signing up, will be trying it out, but so far no stackoverflow/github issue clones, and they allow setting "preferred" and "muted" domains, I might pay whatever they ask I'm keen to know their business plan however. Hope they don't get acquihired for the algorithms, never to offer these features again...
If I tell you you just need to put a - in front of a domain on Google to mute it will you also pay me whatever I want?
I wonder how it collects the results from “the best search engines on the market”. Bing’s API in Azure has very specific terms of use that do not allow something like Kagi, and Google Search API is not designed to build a generic search engine.
Kagi pay for api access to both Google and Bing.

Somebody asked the other day. Kagi pay for api access to both Google and Bing.

Hi Freediver, Would you mind telling us a little of the story about Kagi the company behind the product? It’s really interesting to hear that you’re using Crystal. Where are you guys based and how have you bootstraped? Good luck and keep at it, this is a really interesting project.
We are running on a tight budget, completely bootstrapped by funds from my previous exit. Trying to control cost and all that while establishing product-market fit, which is the reason the beta is closed for now.
Instead of starting with technology, I started by selecting people that I can work with and are crazy enough to accept working on such an ambitious idea. It turned out that they really liked Crystal and, so, here we are. I have over 30 years of dev experience, and in my previous startup I wrote a significant part of the code. But never wrote a line of code in Crystal before so it does make me feel a little uncomfortable. Its performance is truly amazing and that is what I care most about. Our front-end payload is HTML + vanilla JS (which btw is not needed, everything works in no-js), and probably about 100k on average, very lightweight.
I am based in SF Bay Area, and we are a fully remote team.
Thanks for your interest!

If I can be frank, nothing google has done or is doing with my search data bothers me in the slightest. If it uses my data to help target advertising - so be it. It doesn't bother me either as I use uBlock. So whether I pay or not, the only thing I care about is the quality of my search results. What makes you think you can do better than a company with over 20 years experience, 10s of 1000s of engineers working on t…
There have been some speculation that it's down to SEO and google trying to make as much money as they can.
It's possible that a company which does not derive their income from search ADS could create a better search engine.
If someone can make a better search, I am all for it, even if its just for limited topics.
