Comment on "No, seriously. All those things Google couldn't find anymore? Top of the search pile. Queries that generated pages of spam in Google results? Fucking pristine on Kagi – the right answers, over and over again."

I started using Kagi a few months before $10 became unlimited queries.

When I first switched I’d still, occasionally, swap back to google using bangs because I had to unlearn all the hacks I had to make Google turn up useful things. Now I can’t go back, Google is unsable without those hacks. Its barely usable with them.

Plus Kagi has a “fediverse forum” lens that lets me search Lemmy much more effectively than Lemmy’s search.

Ok, you piqued me: Got a link to a guide on using Kagi for the fediverse?

  There’s not much to it. Under settings in Kagi there’s a tab for “Lenses.” Make sure “Fediverse Forums” is turned on.
  
  Then, after you search, you can filter from a broad web search to any of your enabled lenses. Lens toggle

    Oh that’s awesome. The drop-down arrow “disapeared” with my mental blinders-- I was thinking it was only a toggle for PDFs.
