This year has been extraordinary for Kagi ( https://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.

    At the core, you’re making a decision between a paid service and an ad-supported one.

    Going deeper, Kagi has a lot of features over DuckDuckGo:

    • In addition to inheriting DDG’s bangs, it also allows you to create your own.
    • The ability to boost and block specific domains in search results
    • Access to the Universal Summarizer, which can summarize websites, YouTube videos and PDF documents

    and a few more.
