Been using Kagi Search as my daily driver for a few months now and am really happy with the experience. Also the founder is very active within the community, responds to every message, implements a lot of suggestions. Happy to pay and hope that the project works out.

I've been using Kagi for a while now(maybe 2-3 months iirc), and it's been a great experience. I've hopped between 4[0] search engines in the past year, and I've finally found one that works really well, is private, and does what I need it to do. My thanks to the Kagi team for delivering a great experience, I've enabled my premium account. 100% worth it for me.

I've been evaluating Kagi for a couple weeks, I'm liking it, but today I'm completely sold. I've been doing a niche, technical search this morning: trying to figure out if Emacs and TRAMP can be made to work with flatpak-spawn.

Google returned a ton of unrelated posts and I had to tell it to stop ignoring my search terms. Kagi returned the only relevant page: a comment on a Github issue that Google wasn't able to find, and no other fluff, because that particular combination of words doesn't exist anywhere else on the Internet.

In other words, Google lies and paraphrases your search to return as much results as possible, usually not very relevant, while Kagi respects my search terms and can surface very niche pages. 2022 Google makes the Internet feel very small.

I've test driven Brave Search for months as well, and this is my personal ranking, from best to worst: Kagi > Brave Search = Google Search > DDG.

Been using on iOS for a few months now. I enjoy using Orion because it actually gives the user options and imo fixes the issues I had with the Safari redesign. Love that it’s fast and intuitive.

One thing I don’t like is that there’s no option to never save history (like the DDG app)

Any chance that could be added soon?
