Kagi search is so fucking good. Never thought I'd pay a subscription for a search engine but the alternatives suck.Free alternative when?
>>109207482It's Paid? Been using that shit for a year without acc/payment.
>>109207482Bro paid for a search engine, the AI mass-psychosis is truly making people do unthinkable things.
>>109207497Google sucked long before they introduced Gemini. Also I'm using Kagi's FastGPT summary feature all the time. >>109207488How?
>>109207488how? I just went on their website and couldn't search anything.
>>109207482I would pay for it if the unlimited plan was $5/month. $10 is too much for a search.
>>109207510Share a family membership with anons$3/mo
>>109207507>how? I just went on their website and couldn't search anything.I don't know but I see 2/50 so I guess they give 50 free tries.
>>109207563okay then you're not an active user, dumbass2/50? that's for life. Meaning you've only searched something twice.
>>109207482Buy an ad/thread
>>109207482Okay OP, then type the following into Kagi: >Graphene OS is a scam >Graphene OS honeypot >Graphene OS is a fake Take a screenshot of the first search results; then I'll know if your search engine is any good or just as much censored garbage as all the others.
>>109207586While we're making suggestions: Here's mine, fuck yourself.
>>109207497honestly i'd rather pay than sift though seo/attention driven results.but i'm not paying for something that isn't even auditable. at least if they were doing SSPL work and you'd pay for infrastructure, but there's no guarantee kagi won't go to shit in the future.
Why would I use a legacy search engine when ChatGPT Instant is faster and more accurate?
>>109208275because you're getting worse results than I do using Kagi that blocks SEO and prioritized indexing
>>109208293Can you provide an example or two
>>109208324Not him but I have kagi if you want me to search for a couple things. I'm not thinking up searches since you made the snide claim in the first place.
>>109207482Buy an ad shill
I just use my own searxng instance. I host my own mostly because I wanted to mess around with the settings and other bits.
>>109208351>stop talking about technology on the technology boardfuck off
>>109208344I've been trying Kagi but my searches are too normie-core for it to be actually useful.
>>109207482>muh privacy search engine>no monero optionShamefur disprayhttps://moneroshamelist.com/company/kagi
Kagi is great but the founder is kind of a retard. Recently, he cucked out on adding Monero support. Go yell at him here: https://kagifeedback.org/d/493-enable-anonymous-payments-ala-bitcoinmonero/132
Alright I'm giving it a try. I kinda feel like 5 bucks a month should get you more searches though.Other than that, it's nice
>>109207591Here you go. Verdict?
>>109208344please do image searches with thesehttps://files.catbox.moe/yoxqqe.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/l2tuhh.webp
just checked their website the ux looks very familiar is this not just a searx instance kek
>>109210999Not him but
>>109211007does the first one go to twitter, ive found everything other than google ive tried hardly ever finds twitter posts its annoying
>>109210966I like their news page because it gives you a summary of each topic without having to open the websites full of trackers and "we and our 900 partners respect your privacy" and paywalls.It looks clean as fuck too.And I'm not a shill, I can say the nigger word. I like their AI page too, because it's temporary by default. Whenever I open chatgpt to look something up, I always have to make it temporary because they want to accrue data about me. I might honestly end up paying for this. People have been saying "yeah I would pay for an internet that doesn't turn you into the product" but now it's actually there.
>>109211019Sorry to disappoint but the first one is the image I uploaded (you can see it has the camera icon in the top left)You can change the reverse search to "Exact match" but then it shows zero results, so it seems it couldn't find this one
>>109210989>mainstream sitesexactly the same results of shallow pseudo criticism any big tech search engine delivers.i am talking about hidden articles by private persons, like this one: https://chef-koch.bearblog.dev/the-case-against-grapheneos/
>>109211066That one is in the image though.Anyway it seems you can customize it to prefer small personal websites or those without trackers.
>>109211066>>109211076>since I can't attach two imagesYou can also just block websites so if you don't like a website like pinterest or tiktok you can just block it from ever showing up again, or you can downrank it so it shows up further down instead.
>>109211099But to be fair, the "small web" filter doesn't seem to have any results for graphene OS. Not good
>>109211099that cat looks like a faggot
>>109211121You can change it, too bad they have no anime girl
>>109207482Buy an ad.
>>109211049worse than googlel then
Imagine using a search engine instead of Fable, you people disappoint me
>>109211246For reverse searching this image, yes I agree
>>109207520>google makes trillions farming your activity>used to subsidize internet search>reigning champion for 20 years>AI takeover>shittified in under six months>now PAY for barest hope you can get back what you hadthank you for contributing to the shittification of reality
>>109207482>He pays for a search engine
>>109207482
>>109207482before, i had no opinion of kagi at all. now that i have seen this poorly disguised ad of a thread i will keep in mind never to use it.
>>109207482>Never thought I'd payMe neither because I won't payEverything on the internet is freeSearching is probably in top 5 most free thingsKys
>>109207482what makes kagi better than any other alternative?
>>109211654It's not, they are just more aggressive with their grassroots marketing.
>>109211250Fable is gunna be gone again for me in like 2 days ._.
>>109211624low IQ post>>109211654privacy pass support along with available hidden service is a killer feature for a paid search engine.
>>109207488Post usage stats.
>>109207520what kagi doesn't tell you is the admin can see all your searches.
>>109210989>>109211076hmmm, okay not him but you convinced me I will give it a try (if you can try without buying)Does it have a fourms search like google? Most important
>>109207504>paying money for a search engine>it STILL enshittifies the results with AI slopHoly shit
>>109207482startpage and wikipedia, whenever possible
>>109212879retardwhy would you pay and not want an ai summary? What you pay to avoid, what actually "enshittens" the results, is actual results that are ai slop. Getting a summary of the high quality result is not aislop
>>109212935Absolutely cataclysmic levels of cope
>>109207482The problem isn't search (search engines are garbage though), but rather there is very little still out there to search for and almost nothing new being added. Nobody makes websites anymore.
>>109213138Well that does suck but it's why the most important tool in searching is the google fourms tab, that's where all the information is and is being generated nowadays. At least information that not locked away on discord/telegram/etc
>>109212845Yeah you can try it for free, and there's a forum search. You can make your own searches too.
>>109213168You can make your own lenses*, that's how they call the filters.
>>109207482>pay for a search engine>your searches are connected to your identity>gov't deems something you looked for illegal in the future>bank account closed
>>109213187Privacypass, which they offer, resolves this.
>>109213187Check pic related
>>109214457If only they had monero support
>>109207567I have dynamic IP tardo
>>109208275Come back once it deals with confirming question bias. And since Google cucked out by removing inurl:, i can see why you think its a option. >>109211106>>109211076If you just want a small litmus testTrytoebox volume reducing knotMost search engines will then hallucinate about plantar fasciitis, or heel lock since its more common AND unrelated SEO.Another fun option is to see if it can find "Buy borrow die", but you don't drop the phrase or the acronym. Chat GTP is awful at this one.
>>109214716kagi having better results means LLMs using it have better results too, right? When they search the web?
>>109214716>toebox volume reducing knotthe fuck is that supposed to be?Anyway here's the result.
>>109214778And what do you do if "searching the web" means1. Returning dead reddit posts and quora SEO?2. The SEO fails, and it gets eaten by similar terms that is not similar at allThis isn't unique to google. Yahoo and Yandex both has this issue long before the current enshitification. But the current version of google requires extensive tard wrangling if you want to see a human's typed opinion. >>109214789Congratulations anon, it failed miserably. And it thinks you searched for a post about poor lacing technique on runners shoes, when its about high arch causing higher infill.
>>109214838I don't even know what this search is forIf I don't even know what I'm asking it, then how would the LLM know what I'm askingThe answer seemed perfectly reasonable to me as someone who has no idea what that is
>>109214838>And what do you do if "searching the web" means>1. Returning dead reddit posts and quora SEO?If you don't like quora then you can block quora, pic related.If you don't like dead reddit posts, you can filter by date or something>2. The SEO fails, and it gets eaten by similar terms that is not similar at allThen be more specific in what you're asking
>>109214849>If I don't even know what I'm asking it, then how would the LLM know what I'm askingIs that much of an argument? Should an LLM only be able to answer you with the knowledge of some generic anon? Aren't you generally searching you don't know?
>>109214838>But the current version of google requires extensive tard wrangling if you want to see a human's typed opinion.just press the forums button they give you a whole ass button to avoid all seo just presss it one press all human
>>109207482How is it for NSFW, torrents, ...?
