Kagi search is so fucking good. Never thought I'd pay a subscription for a search engine but the alternatives suck.

Free alternative when?

How?

how? I just went on their website and couldn't search anything.

I would pay for it if the unlimited plan was $5/month. $10 is too much for a search.

I don't know but I see 2/50 so I guess they give 50 free tries.

okay then you're not an active user, dumbass
2/50? that's for life. Meaning you've only searched something twice.

Okay 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.

>>109207497
honestly 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?
>>
>>109208275
because you're getting worse results than I do using Kagi that blocks SEO and prioritized indexing

Can you provide an example or two

Not 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.

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

I 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.

Sorry 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

exactly the same results of shallow pseudo criticism any big tech search engine delivers.

You 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.

why 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

The 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.
>>
>>109213138
Well 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

Come 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
>>109211076
If you just want a small litmus test
Try
toebox volume reducing knot
Most 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.
>>
>>109214716
kagi having better results means LLMs using it have better results too, right? When they search the web?
>>
>>109214716
>toebox volume reducing knot
the fuck is that supposed to be?
Anyway here's the result.
>>
>>109214778
And what do you do if "searching the web" means
1. Returning dead reddit posts and quora SEO?
2. The SEO fails, and it gets eaten by similar terms that is not similar at all
This 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.

>>109214789
Congratulations 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.
>>
>>109214838
I don't even know what this search is for
If I don't even know what I'm asking it, then how would the LLM know what I'm asking
The answer seemed perfectly reasonable to me as someone who has no idea what that is

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 all
Then 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 asking
Is 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?
>>
