I guess we all kinda knew that, but it's always nice to have a study backing your opinions.

What is Kati and is it actually good?

Edit:

Is it kagi?

https://kagi.com/

Seems like something I'd be into but I'm also not a fan of my search results being logged against me.

First time I've heard of them. I like the concept but 5$ a month for only 300 search makes me think that you'd still need another search engine on the side, or pay for the more expensive plan.

The 300 searches goes pretty far because you usually get the correct result the first time.

Also you can just use hashbangs to search directly from a site like imdb, letterboxd, goodreads etc so those don't count against the 300 either.

I'm not worried about Kagi's privacy, the only thing you need to give them is an email address (which is kind of a no-brainer if they need to contact you).

You can pay with Bitcoin if you want more privacy.

And they don't even allow you to store your own search history, because they don't want to save it anywhere.

"Save My Search History Currently this option can not be turned on. Kagi does not save any searches by default. In the future we may add features that will utilize your search history and then we will allow you to enable this."
