Ever since they upped the search limit (before it's pay per search), I've been a happy camper.
On the other hand, it did teach me the true cost of searches, and I use a lot more !bangs now, like !mdn or !archwiki (although the search powering both of these are probably funded by donations)
- hashworks 3y agoSo it basically supports the same bangs as DDG? Couldn't find it in their feature list. Do bangs count as a search?
- mrweasel 3y ago> On the other hand, it did teach me the true cost of searches It really does change the dynamic of how you search, if you know that the next search will cost you 1.25¢. Right now I use Ecosia, so I'm actually more motivated to do extra searches, to increase the number of trees they plant. Kagi is the other way around, search has a cost, so be mindful about what you search for. It's a great way for them to have a sense of their load, while also perhaps being ever so slightly more sustainable.

Ecosia, for example, isn't as serious about privacy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25713050 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25713050

If you've done that you can type that keyword in your address bar, followed by the search term you want.
