I've trialed #Kagi for its first 100 searches. Now that it asks me to move to a paid plan, I'm wondering: is it really worth the €10 a month or should I just stick with #DuckDuckGo? Its feature set is essentially the same as far as I can see and DDG runs an ethical business model with a strong emphasis on privacy as well.

We are committed to surfacing content from the Small Web in our search results, which makes Kagi uniquely different to any other search engine out there.

It is not only part of our mission to humanize the web but we genuinely feel that this improves the quality of search results and discoverability of high quality, relevant content (created by humans!)

The left window has a blue header and text content, while the right window has a yellow header and features an image of a birthday cake with candles. The background includes small clouds on a light gray backdrop.

If you're a #blind user, you should really consider #Kagi for web search. Especially if you pay for chat GPT pro, you can subscribe to Kagi instead for cheaper and get more features. But even if you don't want AI, the search page is #accessible, fast, and light-weight. And unlike other big tech companies (Microsoft and Google) Kagi still offers a cheaper plan with no AI if you don't want it. Also, because they downrank websites with ads, the more accessible results tend to be at the top. Kagi also lets you block domains from your results. So I got rid of inaccessible stuff like instagram and pinterest, and downranked YouTube, because those results aren't usually #screenreader accessible. While I don't agree with many of the opinions of the @kagihq founder (especially his decision to do business with Yandex for image search), I still feel like using Kagi is more ethical than dealing with Google or Bing, and that these are reasonable differences of opinion that reasonable people can have, not just another clownishly evil tech company. I also find the idea that if you're a paying customer, that somehow guarantees the business will treat you better, really strange. I pay a lot to my ISP and they still treat me like dirt! Kagi will almost certainly sell out at some point. But for the moment, it's where it's at for search: www.kagi.com/

I am originally skeptical of @kagihq ‘s new Translate when I read the changelog since it’s using LLM, but damn I was wrong.

I used a piece of Chinese news to test the translation, and Kagi is the only one that translate 副總統勝選人 to “Vice President-elect”. Google Translate translated it to “Vice President Candidate” (副總統候選人） while DeepL only translate it to Vice President (副總統)

Kagi’s Translation Result: According to a Reuters report on November 6, citing sources, Biden will provide billions of dollars in emergency aid to Ukraine before leaving office. The Reuters report stated that the White House did not respond to requests for comment. Since Trump has repeatedly expressed disinterest in aiding Ukraine, and Vice President-elect Vance has also publicly opposed supporting Ukraine, there are concerns that Trump may significantly reduce or even stop aid to Ukraine once he takes office.

AWESOME new @kagihq update:
For ex: I want to look at the #OpenStreetMap wiki page for (power) sockets.

Previously you could do search like this:
socket !osmwiki
this would bring you to wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sp…

But if I know that the chance of the right page being the first result on #Kagi is high, I can just do:
socket @osmwiki !
then I land on: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ke…:*

! is basically the Kagi equivalent of that google "i'm feeling lucky" feature from back in the day

Key:socket:* - OpenStreetMap Wiki

Konečně jsem se rozhoupal vyzkoušet vyhledávač #Kagi. Zejména mi tím došlo, jak moc Google stagnuje, jak moc se překlopil na stranu inzerentů, nikoliv uživatelů. Na Kagi zatím cením hlavně to, že polovinu první strany výsledků nezabírají reklamy (kdy jste u Googlu naposledy mohli kliknout na první výsledek?) a že můžu výsledky snadno přeházet nahoru/dolů podle svých preferencí – k tomuhle existuje i vtipný globální žebříček „toho nejhoršího z webu“: kagi.com/stats?stat=leaderboar…
