Do you have example queries where Kagi shines? Just curious

  - Any time you are searching for something that can be misunderstood. - Especially if you feel the need to use doublequotes.

  No, not really. Kagi is designed to show you what you ask for, and not for showing you the ads you're most likely to fall for. It simply takes your query and returns results matching it. That's really it. It's sad that "does what you ask" is a defining feature, but that's what kagi is. They have advanced features like "lenses" that bias your results toward a specific topic like programming, research, forums. It also lets you add weight to certain domains. For example, I have Pinterest and Facebook totally blacklisted, and some small sites boosted in my results. They also support advanced query syntax with double quotes, +/-, and other operators. Which is to say, kagi is the standard for "search engine that works". Nobody else sells a search engine that just works and does what you tell it to, which is literally all I want out of a search engine. It's mundane and unsexy, but it works, it doesn't advertise at me, and it lets me get my work done faster.
