TIL there's a new EU paid search engine that wants to rival #Kagi which is great because.... there are various reasons why I'm no longer that happy about Kagi but have yet to see their feature set (even within the search product itself) be matched by any other paid/not-paid search provider.

Gonna start trying them out, I'm sure they're missing like most of the features that make Kagi what made it succesful but they gotta start somewhere and I'm hopeful!

@thibaultmol Ohh interesting! Did you already try it a bit?

@thibaultmol very curious to learn your experience. For me, “private” is not enough. I want good (of course), but also things like up or down ranking domains, insights into paywalls, AI image suppression, etc..

@thibaultmol from their FAQ, they seem to be a meta search engine, ie using results from other search engines and then filtering and maybe reordering. Currently based on results from Mojeek, Marginalia, EUSP (Ecosia/Qwant), Linkup, and Serper

@matthiou which is what kagi also is. I'm fine with that because starting a search engine from scratch is pretty much impossible unless you're already an existing giant and have a massive cash flow

@thibaultmol no custom bangs would hurt. I use a lot of them.

@pictor i agree but I think you could actually work around that with this
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/yang-addon/
Which also uses the kagi bangs as it's base. And I haven't actually tested it but theoretically there should be significantly faster than having it go through kagi.com anyway

@thibaultmol I like the pitch

"What Kagi was, originally. "

@thibaultmol is this full of LLM bullshit too? At least they claim it doesnt have them

@aks @thibaultmol the FAQ says -and quote- "There are no plans to implement any AI features, for now. We find it hard to do in a sensible, responsible, and respectful way."
