I got so disappointed with Google search results that I started looking into alternatives. I tried duck duck go, phind and chatgpt and while those have their strengths, they weren't best fit for me.
I often search for solutions for some specific (often exotic) problems and LLMs are not best to handle them.
DDG does not have best results I'm not sure if those are better than those from Google. Definitely have different set of issues.
Finally seeing another positive comment at HN about Kagi I decided to pull the wallet and try it. And it's great. It feels like Google from 2000s
I decided to replace my subscription to anthropic and chatgpt with Kagi where I have access to both providers and also Gemini, meta and others. So in bottom line I it actually saving me money.
Their Ki assistant (LLM that iterate with multiple search queries when looking for answers) is actually neat. In general it best of both worlds. depending what do you need you can use LLM interface or classic search and they have both working great
