Introducing Kagi Search's New Design

Re:Introducing Kagi Search's New Design by wkat4242 on Wednesday April 10, 2024 @09:59PM (#39997689)

I recently heard of SearXNG and I use it instead now. Where I live $10 is a lot of money, more than it's worth to me especially considering I use LLMs a lot now instead. I find I search a lot less now.

And I like the way SearXNG is self-hosted. You can configure and prioritise a lot. And it can even search torrent sites etc.

I used to think Kagi had their own index but as far as I've heard most of it is actually meta results from other engines, just re-ordered.

The only thing I miss is an integration with ChatGPT, that would be amazing.

They do have their own index which is used to detect how many ads the website has etc and for small web / blog searches, but they use meta results to have more results.

Also, they do have integration with multiple LLMs - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral and their own

I used to use open SearXNG instances, but the results still have all the inapplicable garbage in them that I can't filter out. And the results are often incredibly slow. I switched to Kagi because it gave me better results from the get go, and I can customize to block all results from things like YouTube or various poor GitHub/StackOverflow content clones.

Where did you find hosting for SearXNG that costs less than $10/month? I have my own server and I can barely get a public reverse proxy to bypass CGNAT for that price. Also, SearXNG isn't very easy to add custom "always block these domains" lists last I looked.
