I desperately wish I could use kagi but tying my identity to my searches is an automatic nogo. Is kagi interested in offering a Mulvad-grade option where everything is in ram and NO data is tied to my account?

Kagi, if you're listening. Please.

We do not log and associate searches with an account, that would be just a liability for us, check our privacy policy [1]. You can already use a disposable email address and use bitcoin payments to ensure 100% anonymity on your end, while still paying for the product.

To clarify what I think you're suggesting for non-Mullvad users:

- Payment can be made in multiple forms which are not tied to a customer identity (you can even mail them cash) - Accounts are not username/password, no personal info is requested. When you pay you're given a randomly generated account number (currently 16 digits) which is valid for the time paid and each connected device, up to 5 simultaneously, will receive a random name.

This is a great suggestion for opening up as a more general purpose search engine. The history on/off option is nice but not an adequate guarantee for many situations. Searching for regionally banned or "unfavorable" topics while traveling or living under a regime, consulting legal information, or just plain old porn searches are all situations where one might consider having their name, email, and credit card stored with the potential to be linked a bit too risky.

They don't keep and tie your searches to your account. There is an option to enable history but it's disabled and doesn't let you enable it, but there is a message saying that they might add features that use this but since there is no feature currently you can't enable it.
