Kagi Search is a premium search engine that prioritizes user privacy and delivers ad-free search results. It is designed for individuals seeking a more personalized and efficient search experience without the influence of advertisers. By paying for the service, users are assured that their attention is not being sold to third parties.
Kagi Search offers several distinctive features, including the ability to uprank or downrank specific websites in search results, block unwanted domains, and utilize 'Lenses' for specialized searches (e.g., developer answers, academic research). It also integrates multiple Large Language Models (LLMs) for enhanced search capabilities and provides a feature called 'Kagi Assistant' for AI-driven search results summarization.
The service is designed to be highly customizable, allowing users to tailor their search experience according to their preferences. This includes settings for search results filtering, such as by region, time, or file type. Kagi also partners with Internet Archive to provide access to web page archives.
Kagi offers various subscription plans, including a trial with 100 searches, a Starter plan ($5/month for 300 searches), a Professional plan ($10/month for unlimited searches), and an Ultimate plan ($25/month that adds AI assistant capabilities). Family and Team plans are also available.
Kagi aims to 'humanize the web' by providing tools that serve users first, promoting an ethical and personal internet experience.
