Kagi

Ah, yes. The "Fuck you, Pay me" search engine.

I like where I stand in that model. I've tried the alternatives and have found genuine value in what I'm paying for. Lemmy loves turning its nose up at Kagi because "money" but they've gone out of their way to index the fediverse where most have ignored us. I'm an anonymous Kagi user I pay through a third party using a crypto account and I couldn't be happier - they now have a lower tiered payment plan that is affordable for me.

It's a paid service that in return respects privacy, and has results as good as Google's.

Google doesn't say "Fuck you, Pay me" because you are the product.

As good as google is now or as google was before it went mental?

[–] Wolfram@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

I'd say in a good bit of cases better than Google now. Each time I've resorted to Google because I think I'm getting lackluster results, it's got the same results but also a bunch of SEO dogshit I have to sort through. Kagi's personal site ranking and filters make it worth it too.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

Definitely old Google. Searx etc probably already better than current Google. Kagi has free trial though. I used free trial like 13 times before I realized it was time to pay the entry level 300 search fee and have no regrets about the value.

A service that gasp costs money???

It surfaces better results for me than others so I'm paying for a service that I gain benefit from. Feel free not to...
