Kagi doesn't have an independent search engine over their own index. Even the Kagi website calls it a search client. Without them creating their own index, I'm not sure it truly qualifies as an independent search engine. Brave Search, which had its full release less than two years ago, does have its own index and is one of the sources that Kagi uses.

- TeaBrain 2y agoThey do claim to use an independent Teclis index, but this cannot be where most of their non-news results come from as it is not a general index. From the information available on Teclis, it has a very limited index and currently is strictly purposed for the niche use of finding non-commercial content. Teclis itself doesn't even claim to be fully independent, and sources from the Marginalia non-commercial index. If they were relying on their own index, they wouldn't refer to Kagi as a client and reference the other sources with precedence. https://teclis.com/ https://teclis.com/
