Never ever trust AI summary cooking instructions. Holy crap. I made a serious error with that once.
I was searching for reverse sear info and it told me to make sure the steak is at least 37f/3c internally before eating lol
(I agree that AI result summaries would be quite handy, if Google's results weren't also so frequently incorrect at a basic or numeric level)

Yandex is great if youre searching for pirated content or for DMCA'd content that ended up on Gitflic.ru Anti-drm tools are a big case in point. And so is Bypass Paywalls Clean Firefox plugin. All of these have been purged from the "Great American Corporate Firewall". Russian people != Russian govt != Russian companies. I just use the tools that work.

Same here , about 95% of my searches o just look at the AI overview, and that’s been enough. I don’t like AI only idea but I think it will work just fine
So you are not actually searching for anything on web. This is more about using google as a web search engine, something it could do maybe a decade ago.

It did for me, I can no longer find any GitHub project. Duck duck returns them on first try. Absolutely ridiculous, couldn't believe my eyes when I finally realized that. I get a ton of ads and product placements on first couple pages. What I search for is literally, word for word, name of the repository and it's not ambiguous.
Im curious, what is your query?

Huh? the github page of pretty much anything is always in the top 5 results for me.

It's all products and ads now with Google with anything vague enough that warrants up-selling for them.

Thats interesting, because for me, I cant find anything on github, through github search and need to resort to google. Google search is super super terrible for other things tho :/

I've been a Kagi subscriber for several years now. If you're questioning the AI features, know that I am only barely aware they exist. I have never, not even once, accidentally or otherwise, engaged the AI features without going out of my way to do so. I've never seen what their AI is like. I have no idea what it's for or why I'd want it. It's beautiful. Kagi has AI I suppose, but it's over there and not in my face.…
I'm curious: what is your use-case for a search engine that justifies Kagi over free search engines? Are you not finding your results on page one, first try, with other engines?
While there are good alternatives like DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, or Ecosia, there are also ad-free alternatives, where you're not the product, like Kagi [1] or Uruky [2] (I co-founded Uruky, which is also currently and for the foreseeable future "No-AI")! [1]: https://kagi.com [2]: https://uruky.com
Just FYI, at DuckDuckGo we have a search setting to turn ads off: https://duckduckgo.com/settings We also have a no ai version: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/
I must be the only person in this website who is happy with the AI Overview feature. It messes up sometimes (very rarely) but so do websites. And between ads, cookie popups, newsletter popups, notification permission popups, websites with a high Time to First Byte, and all the useless filler around the content, websites are a nightmare to browse. I would say that for almost all of my searches the AI Overview feature…
My problem with the AI Overview feature is that it provides what you're looking for at the expense of everyone who provided the data to make that functionality possible. Website owners losing traffic to the AI Overview feature is well-documented and has been discussed extensively here. This reality begets a few questions: ----------------- What happens when it no longer becomes profitable for anyone to share knowledg…
That we will go back to the time when posting stuff on the internet was done out of passion and not because of economic interests. I can’t wait.
