I don’t remember when I started using Google. Google only … is. It is the verb to search online, and it becomes 10 times the market share for all its competitors combined, and it is responsible for directing a huge amount of Internet movement.
Nearly two years ago, it came out. I participated in a search engine called KajiWho receives $ 10 per month, and in return, is considered a better search results, not advertisements, there is no data collection, and many advanced features. I have tried a lot of search engines and always ended with Google – I felt the results elsewhere in one way or another worst. This time, whether it’s because Kagi is great or that Google decreases or both, I didn’t feel any decrease at all.
I still use Kagi, and it is difficult to imagine. It is now Google This looks strange and unfamiliar every time I open it. Google has also become more visual, MoreAnd Constantly less good In finding the things I am looking for simply, Kagi remained simple and direct. It is a page full of links, usually that occasion.
The age of Kagi, as a producer, is about three years, but the company has been present since 2018. It was started by Vladomer Brillovak, who started the company after selling the previous start starting to Godaddy. He told me that it started specifically because Google is very place – he found himself wondering, do I want my children to grow up with all these ads and all this follows the data? He paid the price of YouTube Premium, which provided a way to get all good things and not from the ads. “Then I thought, why is there no research experience like this?” He says.
When the search is a paid product, Prelovac numbers, it can be better. Do not worry about participation – in fact, every time you search, cost him money, so getting your entry and getting out faster is to win for everyone. “You pay for information, you get information,” he says.
The use of Kagi is very similar to the use of Google a decade ago, and I mean it in a good way
The use of Kagi is very similar to the use of Google a decade ago, and I mean it in a good way. Write in the research, and restores a page full of links. It contains photo search, search in video, maps, news, and even a podcast tab, I found it very useful. Look for a topical thing, and you will get some links followed by the side jogging of news stories. Look for someone, and Kagi always starts with a short extract of their Wikipedia page.
In general, I found at least a good Kagi results like any other search engine. This is difficult to determine, though; For this reason I waited a long time to write this review, to see if I would eventually feel a decrease. I don’t have. Part of the cause, as I think, is the research indicator itself. Kagi creates its own database for research and news, and it uses this for many searches, but it also calls Google, Bing, Wolframalpha, Wikipedia and many third -party providers as well as looking for information. This is already a step higher than most other search engines that do not Tango, which is only the top facades of Bing results, but Kagi appears to put the pieces together more thinking more than most of them.
Preluvac says, the Kagi Index focuses on quality instead of the quantity, which means that Kagi makes decisions about what is good and what is bad while Google crawls everything and hopes for the best. As a result, Kagi seems much lower than unwanted SEO from Google, and although its virtual settings are so clear that they are a kind of boring – a lot of all tools for cooking, a lot of ESPN for sports, and a lot of Wikipedia everything – I think this is a good trade.
Allow me to present one example on how to display the difference in the approach in the search. I am looking for a new pair of headphones to wear while running (my AirPods has finally started to die, everything is very sad). I am looking for “the best headphones for operation”, on Google, I face Carrosel from shopping options, a global hostility, Bose advertisement, two purchase guides, some Reddit links, Best Buy, and “Carousel” repeats a group of top, Rink A Amazon, more shopping links, and Bunch of ADS. Kagi 14 search results include a direct link to various purchase evidence. Google is filled with one click but hardly any information or context, while Kagi actually helps me browsing the Internet.
There are only two things I find myself returning to Google. One is the maps: the Kagi interface is very harsh, and Google is not only defeated for all local things. The second is really the inner things. For example, if you are looking for an email address that appears only on one web page anywhere or statistical from a long -time blog blog post only existed in the form of a consolidate, the intense size and the range of Google Search Index are not defeated. But this happens once a month, if that. For everything else, Kagi is enough.
To be good like Google is a big victory. Kagi begins to separate itself by giving you a wide range of controls on how the search engine works. You can click on any search result and select “more results from the site” to increase the number of times in which a specific field will appear; You can specify “removal of results from this site” and stop seeing it completely. (You can also move to the settings to add the areas you want to see more or less. So that Kagi keeps a general list of the most severe and breeding fields, which is honest-doing people no You want Pinterest in their search results. With two clicks, it can disappear forever.
You can turn a switch in search results to the “Little Web” and only see the results from a group of hand -printed personal blogs, the beloved publishers and the like. Another exclusive switching in the forums is looking, and another specifically on programming websites around the programming. Kagi calls these “lenses”, and you can create your own – you have prepared one looking for news only on the sites I love and subscribe to, which mainly created my personal Google news. it’s great.
This type of customization is clearly how every search engine should work, and it extends throughout the statute. By default, I think Kagi Mustard Yellow Accent is a type of eyes, but there are some topic options, and you can also write your CSS to change the application in any way you want. The basic point, Preluvac tells me every time we talk, is that you should be able to make it what you want. This is what you pay for.
You also pay for privacy, which I think Kagi deals well. Both Prelovac and Kagi’s privacy policy Say Kagi does not store data about what you are looking for or what you click on. In order to be clear, this is not a completely special thing: some third -party integration processes collect data on your activity, and the application itself has some information about you and your preferences. But at least the search engine does not see your search operations. It is not an ideal solution, but it is better.
At the top of some searches, Kagi will display a small mentor with a “quick answer”, which is mainly a copy of an Officer of Amnesty International from Google. Click it, and you will get short powered extracts from artificial intelligence trying to answer your question, as well as some links. If you pay the price of the most expensive layer in Kagi, or $ 25 a month, you can also reach Kaji Assistant,, Which you can use such as Chatbot for general purposes (with access to ChatGPT, CLADE and more) and interact deeper with search results.
The $ 10 monthly plan gets some access to AI: there is a chatbot called FastGPT, which is basically just a custom page to get quick answers, and you can connect any link in its global summary to obtain basic information. Kagi thinking, associated with artificial aids, can be interesting over time. But now, this is not what I use.
The simplest way to switch to Kagi is to download the browser supplement, which also helps you to switch to Kagi as a virtual search engine. (This is very simple on the desktop and annoyingly complicated on the mobile phone, however Kaji help documents It is a good guide to bypassing you). If you are going to use Kagi, there is nothing to do but go everything – you should not pay for the search engine unless you use it full time. Kagi also contains a dedicated mobile app called Orion, both of which are good, I do not use it much.
The payment for search is difficult, and $ 10 per month is not cheap. (You can try Kagi for free for 100 searches, if you just want to know how it works.) But search is an essential part of the online experience, and now, the search seems to die. Google is intended intended in a comprehensive reform to search for AI designed to answer your questions directly and turns everything into a visual visual experience and focuses on shopping, often worse. Meanwhile, companies such as Openai, Microsoft and Perplexity are building their Amnesty International search products. Searching for the search is no longer actually and more to try to do things for you. Efficiency at any cost.
It has become increasingly not interested in the presence of the Internet She did to me. We live a lot of our lives within many algorithms and products that contain hidden agenda and platforms without any concern for our interest or user experience. For this reason, I believe in the unique, in RSS readers, and in algorithms. They provide me with an internet experience I am responsible for. It seems to me that the search engine – meaning, is a way to find things on the Internet – is a decisive part of that experience. Kagi is a search engine I control. I give it $ 10, and this gives me the Internet. I love that trade.
