This year has been extraordinary for Kagi ( https://kagi.com ).

Kagi is a paid alternative to ad-supported search engines like Google and DuckDuckGo. It has recently revised its pricing model, reducing the cost for a plan with unmetered searches from $25 per month to $10.

Kagi boasts the following (and more) features:

  • Blocking or boosting specific domains in your search results
  • “Lenses”, which are individual setting profiles (e.g. region locks, domain whitelists) that can be applied to search queries
  • All of the Bangs that DuckDuckGo has (e.g. type “!yt” in front of your query to immediately search on youtube.com)
  • Universal Summarizer, which works with any website, PDF document, YouTube video and more

This blog post goes into full details about Kagi’s capabilities.

    I actually am one such user! I’m aware this looks an awful lot like an ad.

    I’m just very happy with my own experience on Kagi, and since it’s pretty niche, I thought I’d use the text part of this post to eloborate a bit on what Kagi actually is, since the title alone doesn’t. Perhaps I’ve gone too far into appetizing it.
