I was concerned that I would still be semi-reliant on Google Search for things like local business opening hours etc. While it's true that Kagi doesn't return that stuff at the top of a search (I'm outside the US so YMMV), in practice it's been a non-issue because the top result—rather than an ad or some AI nonsense—is just that business' website. So at most it's one extra click.
I don't think I've deliberately done a Google search since I signed up, apart from to check that the !g option works as expected with the Safari extension (c'mon Apple, support custom search engines already)
- Al-Khwarizmi 2y agoThat's actually one of the main reasons I don't join... Where I live, many shops, bars and restaurants have opening hours in Google but don't even have an actual website. Is it easy to launch a Google search from Kagi if you need this kind of functionality?
- JohnFen 2y agoYes, Kagi supports the !g bang to do a google search. Even better, you can make custom bangs that do anything you might want that doesn't have a default bang.
- benhurmarcel 2y agoI subscribe to Kagi but I keep using other search engines for some specific searches. It’s really easy to do using “bangs”, or configuring them in your browser directly. For local businesses I always search on Google instead, that’s the main topic in which it is clearly superior still.
