We hit a new milestone: 70,000+ paying members, proving that quality matters, choice matters, and that many people would rather pay with their wallet than with their data.

Good time to resurface this piece:
"It’s a fantastic feeling to type in a search query and once again get useful, relevant, non-AI results (that I can customize!). It’s a bit of sanity returning to my Internet experience, and I’m grateful."

Tip 💡
You can build a Kagi Lens for shopping that only pulls from specific sources you want to support, like independent stores and small businesses. Put your money where your values are.
A great quote from Lee Hutchinson's Ars Technica piece, "Enough is enough - I dumped Google's worsening search for Kagi"

Less scrolling, more living.
Lifehacker rounded up some of Kagi's best features 👇
"Use redirects, filters, and anti-clickbait features to make the most of Kagi."
https://lifehacker.com/tech/the-best-hidden-features-in-kagi-the-paid-alternative-to-google-search
"Somehow it was found by a system explicitly interested in small, personal, human-scale websites."
"A tiny, yet real proof of life."
Kagi Translate added keyboard shortcuts, pinned languages, cleaner pasted text from PDFs/books, better share previews, and new languages! 🌏

Starting next week, we’ll begin onboarding developers to the Kagi API dashboard.
With the new Search API, developers can bring Kagi Search into their own apps, tools, and AI systems.
If you'd like to join this early preview of the Kagi API, please fill out this form. We'll reach out next week!

"Kagi is perhaps the clearest example of a search engine trying to rethink how internet search should work."
Why settle for the bare minimum when search can be this good?
"Orion feels remarkably similar to Safari, except with a couple of features you wish Safari had. Block ads and trackers without having to install a third-party blocker, open broken links automatically in the Internet Archive, use vertical tree tabs, and a whole lot more."

Pro tips for Kagi's image and video search:
Between AI-image filters, clickbait controls, reverse lookup, and source filters, there's a lot of power hiding behind Kagi's images and videos tabs. Here's how to get the most out of them.
"Free" search is costing you more than you think. Here's how:

@vadim@m.vrutkovs.eu @jorijn@toot.community Not "mostly" - Yandex represents about 2% of our total costs and is only one of dozens of sources we use.

@jaredwhite@indieweb.social That means a lot to us, thank you so much for this amazing feedback, Jared! Shared it with our team 💛

@gaufff@piaille.fr @papawilf@hcommons.social Hello, Kagi has multiple filters for AI results, including the option to report both multimedia and web search results as AI slop.
More about SlopStop here: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/slopstop.html
Replying to
@jibsaram @jorijn@toot.community Thank you so much for this honest and transparent exchange. We're not perfect, but we genuinely listen to all feedback and weigh it carefully in every product and strategic decision we make. Kagi wouldn't be here without the community that supports us. Shared this input with our wider team as well. 💛

@harblinger@wizard.casa You should absolutely put in your interest in the form, this will not just be for large organizations 😃

@taoeffect@crib.social Hi Greg, would be great if you can upvote this feature request and it would also be helpful if you add more input on the utility of this so it can be prioritized accordingly if more users agree:

@dm29@mastodon.social Thank you so much! Our design team really appreciated this feedback 💜
Replying to
@Blort@social.tchncs.de Hi there, thanks for your feedback. The most important thing to say plainly: Kagi does not make surveilling you possible, and nothing you search or ask is used to train anyone's models. The same applies to AI features: Kagi proxies every request, so the LLM provider doesn't see who you are. You can check our LLM & Privacy guide here: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/llms-privacy.html
As for indexes we use, Kagi blends in much more than Google (including our own indexes.) More below 👇

@aaron Thanks for confirming! We are running an A/B test with both options currently to see which performs better in terms of conversions to paid accounts
Replying to
@taoeffect@crib.social @aaron You get 50 free searches without needing to sign up at all.
Replying to
@aaron Yes clicking "learn more" will do that, but above it should be a search field like this - can you confirm if you don't see this including in incognito mode on your mobile browser?
Replying to
@aaron @taoeffect@crib.social Yes! The Free Search Portal is live. It's 50 free searches, and if you sign up, it's an additional 100, bringing it to a total of 150 free searches before you sign up for a plan.
Replying to
@Blort@social.tchncs.de when Kagi calls an external source or index, it's an anonymized API call made from our servers. Your identity, account, and IP never reach them, and queries aren't logged against you on our side. That's meaningfully different from searching Google directly.
As for Quick Answer, that is AI-powered and uses multiple LLMs to provide the best possible quick and summarized results. We do not send each Quick Answer "straight to Google."
