I used DDG for years and often reached for "!g", yet a year or so into using Kagi and I don't think I've ever needed to fall back to Google. Any particular patterns to the searches you prefer Google for?
- bjord 3y agoCopying another one of my responses here: Off the top of my head, detailed map results and conversions. I know Kagi supposedly supports both(?) of these, but in my experience, I end up needing to re-search things with !g well over half the time. To get even more specific to my use cases: Recently, I've been on the move, so in order to work, I rely on cafes and libraries. Thus, the fewer steps I need to do to see opening hours for a given location, the better. The most common conversion that I need is timezone, as I work with people in a huge number of different timezones. It's very useful for me to be able to type in something like "almaty time nyc 9pm" without screwing around on one of those time conversion sites. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38270198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38270198
