I'm glad to hear it works well for others, and I'd like to give it another shot sometime. I use Google to find relevant sources for research, and documentation for coding projects. In my experience, Kagi just wasn't able to keep up.

There are other benefits to Kagi that I do miss though. I liked being able to permanently disclude domains I am not interested in, and to boost the relative importance of others.

When you experienced a bad result, did you do a direct comparison with the equivalent Google search?

I found myself questioning some of Kagi's search results when I first started using it and sometimes thought a search result was of poor quality, but whenever that happened, I did a direct comparison with Google whose result was equally bad.

I've now used Kagi for almost six months and have never found a search where Google provided better quality results. Except for image search.
