Kagi has kicked ass for me. Its paid, but you get what you pay for.

The only sore spot is image search.

I liked kagi for the first couple months I had it but then I noticed the results seems to be getting worse. Google tier. I cancelled because why pay for that?

I'm not sure if the results were better at first or whether I just noticed flaws more the longer I used it.

I'm often not even bothering to search for technical issues now. There's been a big mindset shift in me. If I can't figure it out on my own then pack it up and move on to the next thing. It's a 5050 shot at best whether you'll get help on a forum and search is a dumpster fire everywhere. I'm learning a lot more this way and retaining but fuck me running is it ever frustrating

Have you tried downranking (or even blacklisting) the spammy sites on your Kagi search result? That alone is an improvement over Google.
