@kagihq is it worth paying for search though? I don’t really see the advantages still.

@jglypt We make the case for it here:

https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/why-pay-for-search.html

But if you're not convinced, what would make this page more compelling?

You can also check out all the customizable features that come with using paid search - if you navigate to "Search Features" under User Guide in the sidebar.

@jglypt @kagihq I've been using Kagi for about a year now, and I can honestly say it's most definitely worth paying for search if you use the internet for anything more than extreme casual 'I just look at facebook' use. Extremely happy with Kagi! (although I'm still waiting for that t-shirt to be delivered!)

@alanb Thank you, Alan! And that shirt is slowly but surely making its way over to you ✈️

@kagihq If the 20k surprise was any indication I'd guess that you'll acquire an ice cream factory and mail everyone a box of vegan strawberry sorbet 😋

@Optional Oh my! You're onto us ... 🍨

@jglypt @kagihq IMO it depends on how often you search and how much you'd benefit from Kagi's features.
For example, Kagi has ranking customizations, lenses, and a really good spam filter. This lets me pull up the documentation for a random API in ~5 seconds compared to ~25 seconds on Google or Bing.
This isn't a big deal to most people, but it saves me a lot of sanity when I have a line of 20 students who want my help debugging their data analysis code because I don't have to awkwardly pause for 30 seconds to find the actual documentation for some R package in a sea of Medium posts.

@jglypt @kagihq I have some bad news: you pay for search, just not with money. Maybe giving away your data is in fact a good deal, problem is you can't know, because you don't know what data ends up where. $20 is $20, take it or leave it.

@kagihq Any Black Friday discount coming up which we should wait for ?? Asking for a friend....

@oros Hello! Here is our comment on discounts - for now 🙂

@kagihq Are we there yet?

@maique Not quite, but you can follow the count here! https://kagi.com/stats

We need all the help we can get to reach this milestone, as we rely primarily on word-of-mouth outreach 😀

@kagihq The result quality feels top notch👌It's astonishing what can be achieved if the user is the also the stakeholder.

How hard or viable would it be to allow more complex or specific search queries?

Example: "Show me all code examples where SomeWeirdAPI_Function() has been used that you can find"
