I categorically refuse to use Kagi as long as they're paying money to Yandex and funding the Russian war effort.

Understandable but not everyone in Russia is for that war, even if they have to pay taxes.

It's terribly unfortunate ... but such that it is, I know if I absolutely need results when other alternative search engines are doing little better than Google ... ie not at all, then last try it's Yandex, which has seen more issues creep in the last few years using switch operators, than I recall back in 2015; but any amount of helpful results is better than zero, as well as not wasting hours of my time. But at times sometimes Yandex also strikes out oddly, almost like there's an unseen cabal that have decreed some more or less benign content off limits.

		You don't have to be for war to be instrumental in it. But Yandex isn't even just a Russian taxpayer which would be bad enough. It's been apprehended by the government and turned into a key element of it's propaganda machine. It's literally one of the things that keeps Russia what it is. And using results from it? That's just insane. They are poisoned, and we actually know about it in detail thanks to a source code leak. If I wanted to see what the Russian propaganda is pushing today I can go to Yandex directly. But including it in my search results automatically?

All the more noble reason to support them; to give money to the only regime opposing the neo-nazi puppet state that helped both Israel and Azerbaijan carry out their genocides this decade.

You do know every single European country that buys oil from Russia pays more to them than they do to Ukraine for defense… right?

Are you our there protesting the EU?
