A look at search engines with their own indexes - Lemmy Today

Great article, appreciate that I’m not the only one concerned around some of the ethical choices Kagi has been making.

Same. I use Kagi because search is an essential function of my job and I can’t extract decent results from Google anymore, but if there were another engine with equally good results and a better ethical track record I’d switch.

(There isn’t. I’ve tried Qwant, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo and a handful of others. Was not impressed.)

I share the sentiment. The results are acceptable, and being able to custom rank sites in results is very useful, but the killer feature is not having ads or forcing AI down my throat.
