This year has been extraordinary for Kagi ( https://kagi.com ).

Kagi is a paid alternative to ad-supported search engines like Google and DuckDuckGo. It has recently revised its pricing model, reducing the cost for a plan with unmetered searches from $25 per month to $10.

Kagi boasts the following (and more) features:

  • Blocking or boosting specific domains in your search results
  • “Lenses”, which are individual setting profiles (e.g. region locks, domain whitelists) that can be applied to search queries
  • All of the Bangs that DuckDuckGo has (e.g. type “!yt” in front of your query to immediately search on youtube.com)
  • Universal Summarizer, which works with any website, PDF document, YouTube video and more

This blog post goes into full details about Kagi’s capabilities.

    Kagi has better search results than any other engine I’ve used. That is why people pay for it.

        This is literally “nuh uh” quality discussion. We get it, you like SearXNG, are you actually trying Kagi?

        I just tried a few SearXNG instances and the quality is the same as what I get from Google or Bing anyways.

        Trying out Kagi now to see if it’s better or not.
