Google in 2003 was good because the web wasn't quite so full of utter garbage. There must be 100x more content at least now.

Lately I have felt Kagi also sometimes stray down this "knows better than me what I want" path. I recommend using the forums to let them know. They actually read the forums and act on it. I've reported both ux improvements and search quality issues and more and they have always taken it seriously.
