A Recommendation For Replacing Google as your Search Engine

DuckDuck, what is it? DuckDuckGo? Is that what they're called? DuckDuckGo has been advertising their no AI search, even though they have AI search.

I found a different one.

This is not an ad, but it's kind of an ad.

There's this company called Kagi.

K-A-G-I.

I don't know that that's how they pronounce it.

K-A-G-I dot com.

K-G maybe?

Hmm.

Um, they're based in, I believe San Francisco and Belgrade.

And essentially what they said is, can we make Google where you are not the product, right? Google gives away a bunch of free things and then they advertise at you and they sell your data and that's how they make their billions of dollars.

This company has searching with no sponsored results and no paying to be higher in the algorithm, but you pay for the searching.

And I have been working through this trial of 300, you know, free searches before they charge me.

And I gotta tell you, the search results are exceptional.

They are always exactly what I'm looking for.

And it feels like...

Google back in the early thousands again, where the top result is not just some company that's paying to be there.

So I have started using Kagi and I'm deeply considering paying for the subscription.

They also have a browser called Orion if you're a Mac user that is like integrated with this search that I've also been trying and it is the best Mac and iPhone browser I've ever used.

So shout out to them for the browser.

Shout out to them for the searching.

Today's tip is really check out Kagi dot com and see if it might be for you.

It feels weird to pay for searching, but also I feel confident I'm not the product.

Exactly.

I was going to say people hear that phrase all the time and they're like, OK, whatever.
