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."

Okay, but it doesn’t know where I am. When I type ‘dunkin’, Google doesn’t just know I want hours for a dunkin donuts, it knows which two or three stores I’m probably looking at hours for and it does it without me having to specify.

If I’m looking stuff up on my phone or just want a quick answer, I actually do want the context of all that data on me. I like that when I type the word ‘glamour’ it knows I’m probably thinking of the bard subclass, and that when I type ‘Conan’ it knows I probably mean Exiles, not O’Brien. I mean like, I know it doesn’t know these things, but it fills in that gap much faster.

I do like the way their search is layed out for doing something more complex, though. It really is a better designed search engine, but I feel like a search engine is the one place I want data collection of some kind, literally because it benefits me.
