I think competition in web search is desperately needed and Kagi is promising. I used it during the free public beta and the search results were comparable to Google - sometimes better, sometimes worse. I sincerely hope they continue improving their search engine and other products, and make a well deserved profit from that.
However, this seems a little disingenuous to me:
> We do not log searches or associate them with an account, by design. This is a software architecture decision (we simply don’t need this) and there is no simple switch one can flip to enable this in case of a court order.
I have no reason to doubt this that their software is like that currently.
But I also know that you don't need to change your software architecture to log user queries.
- ColinHayhurst 4y agoYes, but let's not yet again confuse "search engine" with search service (proxy or metasearch if you prefer). I'm biased so will resist the temptation to say more and only point you to the comments which are currently at the bottom of this discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32677872 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32677872 Having said that I congratulate Vlad and his team. Competition and innovation, in browsers and web search, is indeed needed. We welcome, and are willing to support, all new challengers making genuine efforts.
