Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month | Kagi Blog (blog.kagi.com)

Kagi is a paid alternative to ad-supported search engines like Google and DuckDuckGo. It has recently revised its pricing model, reducing the cost for a plan with unmetered searches from $25 per month to $10.

Kagi boasts the following (and more) features:

  • Blocking or boosting specific domains in your search results
  • "Lenses", which are individual setting profiles (e.g. region locks, domain whitelists) that can be applied to search queries
  • All of the Bangs that DuckDuckGo has (e.g. type "!yt" in front of your query to immediately search on youtube.com)
  • Universal Summarizer, which works with any website, PDF document, YouTube video and more

This blog post goes into full details about Kagi's capabilities.

Same. Looks like you and I both will be getting unlimited searches now. :D

Samesies :P This is awesome. Love being a user and not the product. EDIT:

With the redirector extension you can import the following to help with muscle memory.

Getting errors when trying to import :/

[–] Penguincoder@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Lemmy's attempt to make unsafe HTML "safe" in markdown, is screwing up the formatting in the code block. Download the actual properly formatted json here. Save to your PC as whatever.json and then import that file. It should work.

Same too! I was literally considering the update to the family plan so I could share it. This is welcome news.

Edit: I’m actually going to update to the duo plan. Super affordable now!

We switched to Duo, too. Making that plan unlimited was the las barrier to my spouse jumping aboard the Kagi train. We're in for the yearly Duo sub as of this evening!
