Pretty sure kagi is a bing wrapper too, although they blend in some other datasets.

  Kagi's main results come from Google actually. (edit: see https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/kagi-vs-google.html https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/kagi-vs-google.html - Kagi really shows how good Google could be, since it's mostly using the Google index and then doing user-friendly things instead of user-unfriendly things on top)

    While I'm not disagreeing that Kagi's main results from Google, the source you linked doesn't specifically say that. Just says: > "Heck, it even enables Kagi to exist!" > "We’re grateful to have access to Google's search technology and infrastructure for Kagi." So I wonder what the actual results mix is. Like I said, could be mainly from Google. Edit: Added additional quote.

      I could be wrong, but I think they're playing to their early adopter audience, that being tech workers. Google is terrible at tech searches, without verbatim and now "web" search. Kagi spending work in this area, and indexing this area, might bear good fruit.

    I firmly believe Google will release Premium Search at some point. They did it quite successfully with YouTube... One wonders if the popular narrative around crappification of Search is partially self-induced to prime consumers for premiumization.
