Kagi Search – Paywalled articles indicator and improved weather widget

I'm also a happy Kagi user.

There are only two reasons I still visit Google:

  1. I'm based in the UK and often it shows me shops based
     in the US high up within my search results.
  2. Sometimes I specifically like to visit Google Shopping
     to find the lowest prices online for an item I'm trying
     to buy.

Once Kagi has improved these two areas I'll have no reason at all to ever visit Google (other than Google Maps or Google Translate).

I recommend DeepL for translation. Google Translate hasn’t really improved out the years and I find the DeepL translations superior.

Note that you can also search for something like "translate some sentence to french" in Kagi and get a translation widget, which I think is powered by DeepL. It doesn't show alternatives, but it's pretty nice.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I'm a big fan of Kagi and it turns out I don't use half of the cool stuff I'm paying for.

Number 1 is the main reason I haven’t made the switch yet. Google local search results are something I care about and use frequently. If Kagi solves local search, I’ll switch completely over to them.

Maybe this means something other than what I'm thinking, but if I search for "pub" on Kagi, I get a list of pubs near me. And if I click on the link, it brings up a map with pins on the pubs in my town.

If you add !gb to your search it will restrict it to the UK.

Kagicis also worse at images, maps, and fresh results.

1 sounds like a point in favor of Kagi to me. Can't stand Googles agressive IP-based localization.
