Kagi is worth the money, but it isn't magic. It's about as good as Google was ~five years ago, before they made all the search operators stop work. There's also a whole bunch of things it's worse at that Google - especially local search and shopping. Plus I still get plenty of blogspam and AI generated crap from Kagi.

The search operators makes big difference in result quality, I also don’t like how Google now returns zero results for something obscure. In the past I could find something peripheral and eventually get to what I was looking for.

Exactly! It's so frustrating because the results were usually useful enough to at least point me in the right direction or help me figure out what I was doing wrong to find what I wanted.
