Because anything google can detect, the spammers can generate to match. We will soon enter an era of GPT generated spam which not even humans can tell if it's real info or just garbage that looks real.

Luckily on Kagi I can just block sites the moment I realize it is nonsense.

Or boost or even pin sites that I feel are extra valuable.

Back in the old days I had a txt-file on my desktop containing domains with a minus in front, llke -example.com -example.org for all the worst offenders, so that I could post them on the end of every contested search.

After a while I think Google found a way to ignore those as well as every other filter I had - at least I gave it up.

I have never used anything but google, duckduckgo and startpage. I always end up coming back to google because the results are not as good.

Well startpage has the same results as google, but i stopped using it for reasons I forgot.

What made you chose Kagi?

Tested it and found it realized doublequotes something none of the big ones that I can access (bing, ddg, google) does.

That was it.

And the first time I saw a reported bug in the search results getting serious attention and a fix I was sold.
