A lot of people have been pointing out that Google Search feels like it's been getting worse recently. With more ads, fewer relevant articles, and blog posts...
+1 for kagi. I think they have a smaller subscription too. Also not too long ago they changed the 10$ subscription from 700 searches/month to unlimited, which gives hope that they might improve the pricing over time.
As a side note, it is surprising how many searches one does during the month! I thought I did thousands per month, turns out I am always between 200 and 400!
It was surprising for me how many searches I do in the opposite way. Thought I did hundreds per month, ended up being between 2,000 and 3,000.
I am one of those people who constantly thinks of questions and looks it up. Which makes me think of another question.
With Kagi I can actually find the answer though. On Google I could do several searches and still not find anything besides ads and ai generated fake content.
I guess with meta(sh*t) trying to extort their user base for a monthly subscription service fee just for privacy in the eu, paying for a search engine could make sense…
Kagi is great but it’s a subscription based platform ($10/month). Well worth it, at least for me.

Yup, they have a $5 monthly plan as well which I utilize.
