kagi is paid search, I like the idea of that. why do you recommend kagi and not another paid search provider?

[–] StorageAware@lemmings.world 17 points 2 years ago

As a subscriber, one of the things I like about Kagi is how responsive the Kagi team is. I've reported a few bugs (4-5 maybe?) and they all got resolved fairly quickly. You can also find the founder on the Discord server talking with users. This was a breath of fresh air to me when I signed up.

I can customise it to ignore AI spam with custom filters + academic search + custom rankings + other custom tools. I can yeet domains from ever being seen again. It's just very tailored to whatever you need. I hardly go elsewhere now. I find it curbs my compulsive rumination googling because I get clear, trustworthy answers and not AI telling me I have cancer or am distracted by something dramatic.

I hadn’t even seen other paid providers but I got real sick of Google about six months back, tried kagi on trial and paid for it before the trial was up, that’s how good it is.

I did the same!

I’d pay for Kagi if it were $5/month unlimited. Not going to pay $5/month for limited search.

yeah, i agree. I've get email for €1/month
