Ok, so i just created a test account on Kagi to see if you are right. As i mentioned in my post, something i personally really value is search operators. So i did a direct comparsion on Kagi to google with a simple dork (its not like this would be my daily search but its a simple example for the usage of search operators and i just had no better idea *shrug) intitle:"Index of" intext:2024 intext:backup Old and simple directory indexing dork for backup files/directories. Kagi returns me 13 Results. Google Returns me 108 Results. The quality of the results is quite similar. So i can't tell on other searches using operators, and since my kagi kontigent for my free account is 100 searches i will think about some better search terms and try it again tomorrow. But on first sight, i can't approve the Kagi > Google statement.

is your search operators stuff a little bit too specfiic? Kagi uses google, brave and others. i think the operators just dont work correctly and some you use, just dont exist. and your search this way is highly specfic. when you search regulary you will notice the difference. look at the listable filter when search normally. Your example just doesnt work. btw this gives more, though some incorrecT: 2024 backup intitle:Index intitle:of https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/search-operators.html https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/search-operators.html

  Thats interresting because it worked for me, and i only used operators i found in the kagi docs Oo (intitle / inurl - yes intext isnt in so i just added the term instad of with intext) I also tried others after the post, i just didnt update here - for example i did a site:laughingman.dev (my domain) to see what gets indexed, and saw also that google finds more stuff than kagi. I don't wanne badmouth kagi - please dont missunderstand me. And yes search operators especially in the way i use them is a very specific thing, but well thats something i do daily and i rlly like it - if often helps me to find stuff alot more precise than with just some basic stuff. It also helps to sort out false postive results more reliable. If this is not a case for kagi well than kagi might just not be for me - which doesnt mean its not good for others. Im only speaking for myself

    dont you search normally too? When you do this, you notice the main difference. I will create a bug report later, but i think the api isnt allowing this operators on google site? So they arent included
