I've been using kagi for the last couple of months, and it was just amazing not to have the results flooded with crappy sites, that provide almost no useful information on my search.

However, I also found it a bit ridiculous to pay for a search engine, so I started exploring searXNG, since I already run a bunch of other services.

After some tweaking, I found I could replicate kagi results quality to almost 100% in searXNG ... (at least I didn't notice any difference while testing)

Therefore, a huge **thank you** to the developers!
