One question I ask myself. Does the dependency to Google and Bing APIs been advertised before today ? Can't remember reading that and was genuinely thinking everything was baked in-house (yes I was naive.)
Yes, it is not something they hide. This has been discussed every time Kagi comes up, so I'd say it's fairly well known, at least in places where Kagi is known.
It is documented plainly in their help text and archive.org has indexed that page as far back as October.
