Searching for Astral Codex Ten, a popular, well-written, non-spammy blog which I would expect is indexed...
Returns only results in which _other_ bloggers are referencing ACX. Consider me as one of the datapoints that arrived from HN and likely won't be back, I'm afraid.
- wccrawford 4y agoI just search Kagi, Google, and DDG for "Astral Codex Ten" and it was the first result on each.
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoIronically the Kagi search engine is not in the first few results in Google when you search Kagi (at least in Thailand) And when I did make it to the site, it looks like I have to sign up to use it? I'm not sure putting a locked gate in front of a search engine in 2022 makes sense but okay
- norman784 4y agoThe whole concept of kagi is to be a paid service (is still in beta and for now it's free AFAIK), so you pay money instead of having ads or the search engine selling your data, use the service that suits best to your purposes and philosophy.
- ipaddr 4y agoThe concept in 2022 sounds doomed to fail on many fronts. A service that claims to offer privacy but requires identifying payment information. A required email signup so followup sales emails can happen when the service is ready. Ddg was popular on here until they censored certain websites. Does this search service censor? Sounds like they are trying to tackle privacy but in reality users of this service will have less privacy.
- m-i-l 4y agoThanks for your feedback. The idea was for people to submit sites they like, and search sites other people have liked. I've submitted Astral Codex Ten, and that site is now indexed for the benefit of others.
