I use kagi and it’s quite good results wise, certainly less AI mill spam, but the pricing tiers are fucked up. $5 for 300 searches is not enough, i always end up going through them all, then they go to $10 for unlimited which is preposterous like I refuse to pay that for a streaming service let alone search, get the fuck outta here. $5 for 1k searches or $10 unlimited would make a lot more sense to me, or just charging per search.

Once you are capped on the base tier it’s annoying though bc if you have it set as your default engine it gives you buttons for google and bing to run your search so you end up having to click twice.
