I have used Kagi, it's not a suitable replacement. It still struggles with relevance even compared to the garbage that is current-day Google, and is particularly bad at finding recent (less than a month or two old) information.

Likewise. Every query returns dozens and dozens of AI generated domains and blog posts like this. It’s MUCH better than google with filters and small web but still sad.

		I heard that they might have fixed the problem, but I initially dropped it when they stopped respecting quotes, even in verbatim mode. Like, if I’m looking for an obscure product number, I don’t want a bunch of shit with a few digits off if there are no actual hits. I want no hits if the settings and query demand it.
