Search isn’t really something I can show you one result to say it’s better.

I just use it for a week and feel the difference.

Magi has a free trial of 100 searches. Sign up and try it. I did, and when I ran out of my 100 searches, I went and got my credit card and paid $5/month.

When I tried DDG, I ended up back at Google within a week.

I can’t actually explain how it’s better, other than to encourage you to try it and see for yourself. If you run out of searches and don’t feel it’s better, then you can go back to DDG

I think actually you might have explained it. It's for people who don't want to use Google, but who didn't like DDG.

This is why I ask for more examples to be provided from Kagi because they claim DDG isn't good, just good enough, where as I've been quite happy with DDG results for years now.

You don't have to end up back to Google, there is, for example, Startpage, with the same privacy claims as DDG, but backed up by Goggle, instead of Bing.
