I also tried Kagi and did like it, but didn t find compelling differences over Brave Search, especially compared to brave search s excellent and free AI.

Pay for Kagi. On the occasion where you want more local stuff or whatever you can put “!g” first to force a google search
Reddit • unknown • Use case: search engine for general and local queries
Kagi has direct filters to filter out sources only related to programming to help find resources to your particular topic and I’ve found that Kagi generally produces better results when I ask it for programming topics when using just the direct search functionality.

you're fooling yourself if you think kagi isn't 10x worse for privacy than incognito

Kagi is just old/original google. High quality results and we keep Kagi conflict free from advertisers and other results altering influence by paying a subscription.

kagi is good paid search engine. It gives way better results than google and you can set priorities to different websites and even block ones you don't want.

I've subscribed to a paid search service called Kagi. It doesn't have ads, and keeps all the telemetry fully in your control.

I started out really skeptical of a search that you have to pay for but it’s honestly growing on me. Might be worth a look.
