@dictatordave yes, I pay for it and it is totally worth the money to me. I don't Google search anymore.

I don't remember what you get at each pricing tier because I just pay for the best one and get everything but they have an AI chatbot which can be useful, and they also have a thing called "universal summarizer" that can summarize articles, which is a really big timesaver. It also lets you block sites from results or to rank up and down sites yourself.

So Google is NOT my friend and I am not allergic to paying for things and Kagi actually works good so it's something I'm willing to pay for it.

Kagi works better. I think you should at least try their free trial even if you don't think you would ever pay for a search engine, just to see how better it is.
