That's the part I want to avoid. Build your own crawlers and stop relying on Google. Google already has enough control over the internet, I do not want a search engine that's just downstream of them.
- skinkestek 5y agoOk. I see. But I cannot do that. I can however use a search engine that doesn't mock me and second guess me all the time and that tries to anonymize me. But I agree very much with you. If someone launches a search engine that works as well as Kagi and doesn't use either Google or Bing I'll happily pay a premium for that on top of of what I have already said I am willing to pay for Kagi. Edit: In fact I already support a search engine with an independent index.
