Kagi in the last six months
For those who follow along with my ramblings, you may recall my relationship with the Kagi search engine. Here are my thoughts six months in.
Paying for search

David, a GenXer blogging at Forking Mad+, joins many others in his dissatisfaction with google search. He used DuckDuckGo for a while, but found the results to be rather unfocused. A year ago, he tested Kagi.com, which differs from most (all?) other search engines by charging money for the service. It’s important to say that the difference is that they charge money — google has its own way of exacting payment from the users. After his initial test of Kagi, he decided he wouldn’t do that. But his frustrations with DuckDuckGo eventually brought him back to kagi. He’s now been paying for his searches the past six months, and in this last post he explains why he thinks it’s worth it.
