I recently switched to Kagi and the difference is astounding. I knew it was bad but it’s just crazy, especially on mobile. The ability to personally change a domains ranking in your search results is a game changer too, now my results aren’t polluted with Amazon results as an example.
I'm not sure whether this comment is supposed to speak of Kagi in a positive or negative way.
Hah yeah that was not very clear. What I mean is that google search results have gotten worse over the years and I knew that but since it was a slow change slow I guess I had not really realized the totality of how bad it had gotten until I compared the search results for the same search terms between Google and Kagi.
It’s crazy, what I’m searching for is back in the first couple of links and I don’t have to scroll past “sponsored” results like it should be. I never thought I would pay for a search engine but it is definitely worth it, I’m not sure I could go back to Google.
