I take your point, and agree when it comes to Google

But here's rabbit hole for anyone interested. That brand name being synonymous with the product thing is actually fairly regional.

We just call them tissues here. I think you can get Kleenex brand here, but I don't think anybody cares about the brand of tissue. There's a particular kind that has some kind of aloe Vera extract which is all I'll use if I'm sick, but I don't even know what brand they are.

On the flip side, we call marker pens Biros, and where I grew up we called them Khokis

We call it a sleeve where I come from...

Yep, it's regional.

Where I grew up only a few people used "kleenex", and I never hear it where I live now.

Been using kagi for several months now and can't imagine going back. The only thing I still use google for is when I want to shop for a specific product after having used kagi to do my homework. I'm sure I can configure a filter for that, but haven't gotten around to that yet.

I primarily use a couple locally hosted LLMs for searching for info now.

Larger LLMs are trained on so much info that they get the answer right surprisingly often.

Only thing they of course struggle with are recent events.
