   I'm currently doing the free trial for the Kagi search engine that @Moon posted about a couple weeks ago and even though it's been only a week I think I will have to subscribe.
   
   Glad they just introduced a new entry level tier for five bucks a month (previously the lowest tier was ten a month) ... not happy to pay for search, but I don't think I can go back now, it's too good.

     This post wasn't made on purpose on Google's 25th birthday for what it's worth, I only saw the doodle just now. Funny though.

     @pingviini incidentally they made unlimited searches at the 10 dollar tier instead of 25 now.

     @smug @coolboymew @RedTechEngineer The free trial includes about a month's worth of searches (300) and I've made it the default search both at work and at home.
     
     At work I regularly need to search obnoxious tech shit and really need relevant results fast (like: A Sybase ASE database server has had a strange hiccup that I've never seen before and customers want their application back online five minutes ago fast) and it's been like a time-machine to a time when Google was good.
     
     For searching at home it's not been that much better than Duck Duck Go to make me go "shut up and take my money" yet, but so far I really like the grouping of results compared to the competition and I haven't really tried stuff like custom search lenses yet (see image).
