I am using `kagi` as my search engine. While reading the article I searched `sur:fmc` [0]. The first result was a site that gives information about search urls [1] and gives correct description of what is the function of `sur:fmc`. I couldn't find this page on the first 5 pages on google [2] (and didn't look further). Not to mention google trying to correct me the query text.

$10/mo is a really hard sell for something I can get for free, but if it's actually useful I would be very tempted

  Kagi is great! I have to use Google for only about 5% of searches with Kagi, vs about 40% with DDG. I was genuinely surprised

  IMO, it's worth it. People spend that much on Starbucks every day. The key feature I like about Kagi is that being able to downrank or outright block certain domains is built right in. I also like that it doesn't throw a bunch of crap on to the page above the fold and it doesn't pretend that it found results when it finds no matches.

Guessing "ur" in sur means Usage Rights, and M means Modification, C means Commercial, F means Free (to reuse)?

Kagi search? It said something like after I exceeded my daily search limit in the trials: "Go search somewhere else". I mean, who are these snotty kids, that have the audacity to talk down on people? Not gonna spend my money there for sure. Kagi is good, but get a proper PR person and don't let imbeciles ruin the experience.

  This ia because they are mainly a paid search engine with a limited free trial.

  This is because it is a paid search engine with a free limited trial. This trial is limited because the search inquiry is costing them money and they don't have VC money to through on growth. Neither they plan to follow this growth path. They focus on quality for the targeted market. And to be honest, they succeed in that until now.

    I think the point is that there are much better ways to communicate this.
