To provide some counterweight to all the overwhelmingly positive reviews:

I've used kagi for 6 months and have over 7500 searches with them. It mostly works, but there are a few downsides compared to Google:

- The latency is a lot higher than google, taking over a second to display any results. - The results are often not as relevant, I have to frequently retry my search in Google. - The results for anything local (I'm not in the US) are abysmal. Searching for anything in my city instead only gives me results for the city's history.

Still, I persist in using Kagi, mainly because it's not Google and I want them to succeed. The results are frequently good enough for me to stay with them.



I mentioned my issue with the latency last time Kagi was posted, I would love it if they could bring it to be a bit closer to Google


You can use multiple search engines. I use Kagi, Bing, and occasionally Yandex.
