Didn’t adjust my usage at all. I used the plan with 1000 searches, but since I work as an IT administrator and literally make searches everyday throughout the day multiple times, I changed to the ultimate plan.

For normal (home / mobile) usage, 1000 searches are more than enough for 2 people.

Kagi, hands down, is by far the best search engine I’ve ever used (next to Neeva, which got bought and shut down) without looking for Reddit results all the time.

Just simple searches like “Best gaming headphones” or “Realtek Driver Download” and comparing them with Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Startpage, etc. shows how the quality of the results are far superior.

And you can directly define, which sites you’d like to see higher / more results of or less - or even completely block or pin them to the top.

Also, it also shows you directly, before visiting a site, in colors if a site has a very high number of ads and/or trackers.

And they support for power users custom CSS to adjust everything, URL rewrites (e.g. change all Reddit URLs to old.reddit or to automatically open libreddit or archive.org versions), DDG and custom bangs, and much more.

Lastly, I created a so-called “Lens”, which allows me to search Lemmy / Kbin content only (also still have one for Reddit).
Meaning with one click, it shows me results from only sites or keywords I’ve defined - see image.

Very satisfied with it, can only recommend.

Hm, just installed the app, but sadly it seems to crash right when opening. Using a Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 (folded).

I have many of those, mainly because I’ve been a premium subscriber for 9 years. Well, not anymore.

They just piled up over time since I rarely awarded anyone.

Yeah, I totally get that. Made me feel a little unwell at the beginning as well, but considering that search is one of the main, key features I use daily, multiple times, it is totally worth it.

I pay for a search engine, because:

• High-quality search results
• No ads
• High customizability
• No weird SEO optimized Website results which help me not at all, and I lose hours in a year clicking them, going back and looking for another result
• Did I mention no ads or sponsored content?
