I find it pretty interesting that kagi is rated as Terrible search engine, even ChatGPT preforms better.

The entire post is exact details for why he decides each rating for each query

No it isn’t. He for example evaluate that Kagi and Marginalia get the same score if you have to read as far down as to the 10th result for Kagi, while Marginalia has no answer. How is that the same score? There is no explanation. There is a lot of text, and then in the end he has made some subjective choices.
