I’ve found the opposite. Most notably was when I joined an outage call at work. The call had been going for a few hours. They knew the issue, but didn’t have a fix. There were a dozen or two people on the call all searching for options (presumably all using Google). I went to Kagi and found an answer within a couple minutes that we ended up rolling out.

I’m just one person, and that’s just one incident, but it happened pretty early on after I switched to Kagi and had a pretty big impact on my perception of it.

I had been trying to get away from Google for many years, and with other options like DDG, I always felt I needed to go to Google for various searches, but so far I haven’t been back to Google at all in several years now.
