I’d suggest that, for the cost of an extra domain name, and a boring logo, they could probably significantly increase their subscriber base.

Here’s an idea. Do this with a giant ass logo. Put a banner underneath it with a link saying something like “Add this for FREE to your own business’ website!”

It would have two main benefits. First, it’s still a giant ad for their project. Second, it would shame the company into sponsoring because now everyone can see how cheap they are.

I thought he just really hated PDFs and honestly I was just nodding along.

It’s the House; all of them are up for re-election this year.

This is why the idea of “Medicare for those who want it” seems appealing to me. Until you reach a certain threshold (say, 70%), make both the tax and benefits optional.

It’s not optimal by any stretch but it’s easier to sell it as an optional tax and benefit.

It usually has better results. The features alone, however, put it above DDG.

Rankings aren’t static. You can block a site, pin it to the top of results, or just derank/promote it.

Want to redirect a domain? You can do that.

Want to see specific results? Like PDFs only, or maybe just small web, educational, news stories, forums, or whatever? Use a lens!

Love AI summaries? You can use them! Hate AI summaries? Don’t worry, they’re off by default and require you to press the small “Summarize” button.

You probably understand bangs, right? Using !w will search Wikipedia. You probably also know that some sites, such as Reddit, have shit results so using !r would be worthless. Kagi supports bangs but also has what they call “snaps” - if you type @w, it will be replaced with site:wikipedia.com.

Oh, yeah, one more thing. No ads. There are no risks of misaligned interests between you, Kagi, and their advertisers.
