Whatever the cap is, I’m sure it’s a lot higher than google will let you do before they start rate limiting you or making you do a captcha for every search. Pretty much all search services have some cap, after which they will put up roadblocks to slow you down
- gretch 3y ago> I’m sure it’s a lot higher than google will let you do before they start rate limiting you Do you have any basis for this assumption?
- gkbrk 3y agoGoogle throws me around 4-5 CAPTCHAs a month with regular usage. So far, Kagi hasn't made me do any "find the firehoses".
- Lammy 3y agoI've been getting captchaed by Google just for using `intitle:` or `inurl:` modifiers.
- Scubabear68 3y agoIt drives me bonkers when I am searching a very deep topic (like looking for specific legal decisions), and Google throws up a Captcha at me. I am fast and good at searching, but I ain’t that good. I’m going to give Kagi a try for this reason, plus ability to prefer or ban specific sites.
- zamadatix 3y agoWhen trying out Kagi (prior to unlimited searches) my monthly Google searches were significantly higher than the cap. While some definitely do get CAPTCHAs, I wasn't. Adjusting this to the new unlimited price and it would still seem to be negative profit for them, hence the question.
