No. It is the single most important reason why I pay for Kagi.

It seems to me "everyone" think it is always about privacy or features or something.

But the main thing that keeps me on Kagi is the results. They seem to have most relevant results and few irrelevant results and if I decide to be specific using doublequotes I get no irrelevant results wrt that word. (And if you find one it is a bug and will be dealt with.)

I have lost enough hours of my life clicking through Google or Bing results that maybe has something relevant to my search.

Edit: I have been beating this drum since matt_cutts was in Google and used to frequent HN and so I think it is relatively clear that Google does not care about the quality of the search results.

So many times I'll often search something on Kagi, get no results, and tag on the "!g" at the end to see what would happen. Of course, I get a ton of results that have nothing to do with what I was searching for. I love Kagi.
We've reached a point where if an "alternative" search engine can't find something, then neither can Google.
Kagi uses results from almost every search engine in the world plus its own results. If you can not find something on Kagi, it is likely you will not be able to find it anywhere.
