While I like using @kagihq, I wonder a bit about the underlying mechanics.
Initially, my impression was that they had their own search index. I implemented SEO on my project, Recordfy, and now I see my results on Google. I can also see in the logs how the Google crawler moves through the sitemap entries.
Now, all of a sudden, my search entries appear on Kagi as well. So, are they just an aggregator like @duckduckgo?

#Kagi Search の設定で AI 生成画像（と思われるもの）を除外できるようになったらしい。

こういうのは誤爆もあるので是非はあると思うけどね。でも，こういった設定をユーザ側がコントロールできるのが #Kagi Search のいいところなので，よしとする
Based on the community's feedback, we’ve added a setting to always hide AI-generated images by default.
You can enable it on Settings > Search > AI 
I have been trying Kagi search on all my browsers the past couple weeks and I have to say, I'm very tempted to fork over the cash to pay for this because it means I'm not the product. It's how web search should be. And it has some really useful features beyond basic search. Check it out: https://kagi.com
These AI chatbots are all very good, but ...
When one can solve a problem for me in 5 minutes, that would have otherwise resulted in an hour of invoiceable time, I'm not sure they're saving *me* money.

Is this the search engine you are telling people to switch to?
Why am I paying for a search engine? Because #Kagi allows sorting results by RECENCY.
Absolute game-changer, worth every penny.
@teezeh Ich habe #Kagi auch getestet und war mit den Ergebnissen sehr zufrieden. Da ich aber kein professioneller „Sucher“ bin und den ganzen fancy Kram wie Lenses und die Priorisierung nicht wirklich brauche UND dazu auch gerade mein Hang zu #buyeuropean kommt, habe ich mich für eine Mitgliedschaft in #sumaev entschieden und nutze jetzt @MetaGer. Auch sehr gut und für mich völlig ausreichen.
Wenn‘s dann ein bisschen fancy werde soll, dann nutze ich #LeChat und bleibe auch da in Europa.
#kagi kagi.com macht die Suche im Internet um so viel besser.
Is #Kagi still run by clueless fucking techbros?
"Data broker brags about having highly detailed personal information on nearly all internet users. The advertising industry is immensely powerful, and disturbingly opaque."
All Kagi products are 100% ad-free and with zero trackers of any kind. Our privacy is our dignity. It should never be for sale.
“I have become increasingly uninterested in having the internet done for me. We live too much of our lives inside of too many algorithms, products with hidden agendas, and platforms with no concern for our best interest or user experience. That’s why I believe in the fediverse, and in RSS readers, and in algorithms I can see and shape myself. They offer me an internet experience that I am in charge of.”

Last month I signed up for #kagi #search - way better than Google in my experience. This article says $10/month, which gets you unlimited search, but $5/month gets you 300 searches a month and signing up for a year gets you a 10% discount, so I spent $50 for 3600 searches over the next year and if it turns out I exhaust that in 9 or 10 months, I'll still be ahead. I tracked my usage during a trial period and do not think I'm going to exhaust it in half a year.

Everyone pays for search. The difference is whether you're paying with your attention, time, and private data - or with your wallet.
