techdirt is working fine on Kagi. Ever since its launch, I've been predominantly using Kagi, barely resorting to any other search engine. I estimate that only about 5% of my searches involve Google, and that's mainly when I need to utilize Scholar or Books.<p>Kagi is definately worth the $10 fee. First, it allows me to block websites that I find irrelevant or annoying in my areas of interest, such as Pinterest or Quora. It also promises an environment free of advertisements and tracking. I particularly appreciate the excellent customer support, where actual human beings respond to your emails, not automated responses. Additionally, it offers 'custom lenses', which are essentially search templates. For instance, using this feature I can refine my search to target only educational sites, filter for PDFs, limit the time to the "last 48 hours", and search for specific subjects, like machine learning, along with my query.<p>My only gripe with Kagi is its stringent limit on searches, set at around 10,000 per month. I've bumped against this ceiling a few times. Despite this limitation, the wealth of features and the quality of the search results make Kagi a worthwhile investment for me.
