      Given that you didn’t specify any alternatives, I can vouch for Kagi. It has been working very well and they also have a family plan.

        duckduckgo or ecosia for a free alternative.

        i haven’t used ecosia enough to endorse it but it seems good. duckduckgo is pretty good with results imo, and the bangs make it really useful.

          Kagi also has bangs, I used DDG for a year until I switched to Kagi because it just gives better result. The only issue is searching in my native language and finding Vzech websites, but I can just quickly hop to DDG or Ecosia and try there.

            well as a paid service I would hope it gives better results, so that’s great. i keep thinking about starting Kagi but still feels way too expensive. i wish they had regional prices; i can see how it’s viable for an American or a well off country but for me it’s not worth it … yet, at least.

              I am not sure how, but my friend who created the family is using a country with better price (I think 10%) because of the currency conversion. Can’t remember which, but it is not much anyway.

        I’ve tried Kagi a few times and have been unimpressed. All it needs to be is better than Google, which is an extremely low bar.

      …ot don’t give them the search in the first place. Stop giving them your traffic.
