If you can't imagine a gap then I think it might not be for you.

I tried kagi after finally getting sick of some of my google results. Kagi was able to deliver on some of those results.

It's not like, shockingly better results. I do think they're better on average, but I'm not sure.

However, in the cases where I couldn't find what I was looking for on google and could on kagi, well, that's a binary result. I'll take the success and not the failure.

I was surprised by how much better I found the UI. That's actually the thing that sold me on the subscription to begin with. Going in, I would not have expected UI to sell me on such a thing.

I have since customized it somewhat; there are sites I usually really like results from and they are upranked, and sites I don't care for which are downranked. I've felt like this has lead to even better experience, but I haven't gone back to google to compare.



Very interesting experience. Thanks for sharing. I’m a sucker for good UX/UI, and it sounds like the product is legitimately useful long-term. I wonder how well it integrates into Firefox/Chrome, since I see extensions for both browsers. I’ll check it out!
