I second this wholeheartedly. At first I was skeptical to get a subscription but to be liberated from the big G AND have excellent search is just worth every penny.

Dan Luu tested Kagi and found it no better than alternatives, but that it has the most inexplicably diehard users out of all the major options out there:

That's pretty interesting - I'm able to replicate his results, even though they don't match my own experience.

I think it might be because I search for different stuff - for more technical subjects, I get better results. (A tiny example - searching "python dict" gives my python.org as the #1 result on Kagi, but the #1 result on Google is w3schools and python.org is #2)
