I've been really happy with Kagi since switching.

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Same! I swore I wouldn’t pay for a search engine, but I feel like it’s absolutely worth it, considering the current state of things.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Kagi still uses google/bing results?

[–] TrumpetX@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

I might be wrong, but they meta-search across multiple providers, including their own. The real benefit is that YOU can choose which search subjects to prioritize when trying to find something specific.

For normal search stuff, this feels like "old Google" (no ai spam). For detailed searching, its better than any other engine I've used.

Same. It's amazing. I really like the feature where you can prioritise or deprioritise search results from certain websites.

[–] TrumpetX@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

100%. Best option ever
