    New Kagi user here too, been very happy so far. Though it turns out I do a lot of searching and blew through the 300 searches in the $5 plan in like 2 weeks…

      Make an effort to use bangs and I bet you’ll stay under the limit. Edit: bang searches don’t count towards the limit

      Knowing I wanted a result from a certain site but using the search engine to get there was a (bad) habit I brought over from Google.

      !imdb barbie

      !w mattel

      There’s even custom bangs, which is something DDG doesn’t give you: !libgen some book

      I just signed up with them, too. They were able to get me a link to the age of a small, nondescript lava flow near my town on the third hit. (5000 years old! A youngster!) All the other search engines gave me unrelated crap.

      I have a hard stop set up for when I hit $10, so I’ll switch tiers if it comes to that. 😅

      I don’t necessarily like paying for search, but I couldn’t take ad-driven search any longer. Big waste of time getting through the chaff.
