      When you use 1/10th the searches because you get it all in the very first query your usage goes wayyyy down. even then, you aren’t limited to 300 searches. you can go over, you just pay per search. and even with that if you can’t do that then just default to DDG then. I found DDG to be terrible, not at all better than Bing by itself, so Kagi was something I tried and immediately fell in love with. It just works. And I don’t have to worry about any of my data going anywhere at all, to any advertisers for anything, or for tracking, etc.

        I’ve done 418 searches today and it’s still noon. That’s ~1254 a month. Even if my searches went down by 90% I’d still be 4.18 times over.

        … Kagi was something I tried and immediately fell in love with. It just works.

        Does it also work with very specific technical searches? Could it for example search for the behavior of atol when it encounters an alphabetical character? Neither Google, Bing nor DuckDuckGo provide me with an answer. Google doesn’t even show cppreference in the top 5.
