I'm a programmer. I mostly look for C++ and Python stuff, with a smattering of other things. I find Kagi to be better than both DDG and Google today, and perhaps close to as good as Google was at its best. It's hard to tell: it's very subjective, and I'm not sure how accurate my recollection of Google's past performance is. The world has also changed: there's a lot more SEO-spam sites out there, so the job of a search engine is much harder. They have a free trial (300 queries? 500? something). I did that first. It was a little quick to finish -- I wasn't quite ready to commit when it ran out. But I bit the bullet (it's monthly, so I was out $10 at worse) and ended up staying.
