> Kagi gets talked about on here constantly, and it's not even on the list (though I suspect there's a reason?)

Not that I'd expect them high up on the list, but Kagi sends the following response header:

    Referrer-Policy: same-origin
As a result the browser won't send a Referer header with outgoing links, completely excluding them from this report.

Even if they could technically show up in the logs, we know that their MAUs are 5-6 orders of magnitude lower than Google's, from their own claims.
To be exact, we are about 8 seconds worth of Google daily queries :) [1]

Not much, but each one of those deliberate & paid.

If my math is right, that would put it between Lilo and Startpage in the rankings
