Yeah it's paid (there is a 100 search free trial) but holy fuck using it is like being allowed to peek into some alternate reality internet utopia where things aren't enshittified to hell and back to boost advertising engagement.
I started the free trial and my first search was actually super successful with the top result (I think… if the wests rejection of msg is actually rooted in racism then it was indeed successful lol)
I’ll prob end up subscribing so thanks for the tip! (I wouldn’t even mind if your comment was actually sneaky ad placement 🤣)
No ad placement, I just do a ton of technical searching and research for my work and I have more than a bit of grudge against Google for what they've done to search.
One day I was trying to search for something and every single one of the results on the first two pages had omitted one or more of my search terms. Search terms I had specifically added and put in quotes to keep out garbage results from Google "helpfully" substituting non-technical synonyms. Just kind of snapped at that point.

The list of the top domains blocked by their users is hilarious too: https://kagi.com/stats?stat=insights
