Second result for me is "commercial driver's license" on both Kagi and Google.

There is no shared reality on those search engines and on google there hasnt been for almost a decade
Huh?

Kagi was founded in 2018, and I just gave you an example of a shared reality between those two search engines. For your information, the first result of both searches was the same as well.

Obviously given I'm paying for Kagi I believe it has some value over Google, but there's still a pretty significant core of searches that it doesn't really matter which engine you're using.

I think the point made there was that the results you see will differ based on where you are in the world, on both search engines. Admittedly I haven't used Kagi so I'm not sure this is the case, but I believe that was the point.

Thanks to all who responded to the post though. I can see this answer in my results, just further down the list than most people are suggesting due to whatever targeting I'm receiving.
