Strongly disagree. I use Kagi and immediately notice how crappy Google is any time I end up there (e.g. on somebody else’s device).
- jmyeet 2y agoSerious question: for what searches? In any of these "Google sucks" claims I've yet to see any definitive search results of Google compared to anything else where the alternative was clearly better. In fact, I rarely see any examples at all. It's all just feelings and vibes. I've literally been hearing this for years at this point. DDG was the popular kid on HN for awhile and, even then, if you dug into the claims it would usually come down to "I don't use !g that often".
- D13Fd 2y agoI don't have any concrete examples. But I will say that I have literally never used !g with Kagi or felt any inclination to. I agree about prior engines. I tried DDG for a short period but it felt like junk, and same for Bing. With Bing in particular I'd search and search and not find something I knew was out there.
