Four days after seeing @daedalus post about kagi.com, I've run out of free trial searches and signed on for a US$10/month unlimited plan. Happily!

On the one hand, internet search should absolutely be a publicly regulated utility. Reserving reasonable search results for people who can afford to pay upfront for them is digital divide bullshit compared to "the good old days".

On the other hand, gee it's been nice searching for things and finding them easily. For years I've been gradually mashing "!g" more and more when Duck Duck Go (a.k.a Bing in a funny hat) fails. Then increasingly having to edit and re-run the Google search query multiple times until Google finally turns up a half-decent result.

Not to jinx it, but so far my experience of Kagi has been not that. Closer to internet search of old...
