I’m still amazed that Kagi search results are basically on par with Google’s (and without the ads) in all my comparison tests that I’ve done. And Google has orders of magnitude more resources.

What has Google been doing all this time?

It's even more insane than that. Kagi uses Google as its backing search engine. And some others, to be fair, but a lot of those search results are still coming from Google API.

Which is to say, Google could easily be as good as Kagi is, if they wanted to. What they have been "doing all this time" is turning their search results into a mess.

Making money hand over fist. Not to say that's necessarily related to quality or morality, it's just been their focus.
