Ever feel like searching online is like digging through a box of wrong answers?

Kagi has your back.

I was listening to a song and following along reading the lyrics when I came upon words in another language:

"Mornië utúlië"

Unsure what that meant, I went to translate it on #kagi using their Translate tool which auto-detected it as Sindarin, "Darkness has come" -- wait what? Elvish?

What a treat it is to find #lotr Elvish language supported by @kagihq Translate tool. Unfortunately Google wasn't as helpful with its translation and they don't support Sindarin.

Hei Fediverse! Kennt jemand die #suchmaschine #Kagi @kagihq ? Findet ihr sie technisch und funktional gut? Was sagt ihr zum Bezahlmodell? Ich persönlich fand #GoogleSearch lange ungeschlagen, hatte aber Mühe mit dem Geschäftsmodell. Mittlerweile habe ich aber auch Mühe mit den "Suchresultaten" (selten relevant) und dem Verhältnis Werbung zu "echtem" Inhalt. Daher auf der Suche...

I’ve used Kagi.com as my preferred search engine now for a few weeks and bumped into 100 free searches limit during the weekend.

I’m seriously considering paying for it for 2 reasons.

First and foremost it has proven to give much better search results. This is how it used to be elsewhere!

Secondly I’m having enough of the bad business models out there. Google is not free, even if you do not pay in money

Customer is the one who pays with money. Not paying - not a customer.

I went ahead and subscribed to Kagi. It's the best web search experience I've had in years.

Paid search? Yes. Absolutely yes. It actually makes sense. No search engine runs for free. There are costs involved. "Free" search engines monetize your data, behaviors, serve you ads, and try to sell you stuff.

Kagi is refreshingly different.

The free trial spoiled me - no other search engine I used could really measure up to it after that.

The results are really good. Relevant. Clean.

No more ads! No more sponsored or promoted search results!

If you haven't already done a free trial, it's worth checking out. And it's as little as USD $5/mo after that if you like it enough to keep using it.

Hey can any of the alternative search engines *exclude* gen AI content, content farms, stuff like that? Like #DuckDuckGo #Kagi etc?

Support for #Kagi in #iOS19 challenge #WWDC

Kagi Now supports Peertube results when searching for videos. I think that's quite a nice feature to allow more "exposure" of this alternative platform.

"Peertube integration! Peertube results now show up in regular searches, plus you can filter by "source" to see more Peertube content"

#Kagi #Search #PeerTube

@kagihq

PeerTube results now show up in regular searches on Kagi, plus you can filter videos by "source" to see more PeerTube content.

Protip if you're using #Kagi and are an #OpenStreetMap mapper:

Sometimes the OSM wiki can be a bit slow, with @kagihq you can set a 'url redirect' so that any time the osm wiki shows up in your Kagi search results, it'll actually link you to a cached version of the wiki (as mentioned here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Cache ) instead.

Really excited to be sharing Kagi's mission at @hopeconf this year!

"My inaugural experience using Kagi was eye-opening: on my first search I got a genuine blog post instead of yet another click-bait AI-generated article. Think about it for a second: when was the last time you got someone's personal blog at the top of your search?"

"We have become numb to the taste of good software and hypnotized by the idea of free."

We recommend reading this article about why quality software deserves your hard‑earned cash. Industrial software from big tech companies are subsidized by advertising, proprietary ecosystems, or enterprise contracts, creating the illusion that software should be cheap or "free". This often comes at the cost of your privacy and quality of the product.
