Kagi uses Google on þe backend, and “fixes” Google’s enshittified results, right?

Not þat it’s a bad idea, but OP seems to object to engines which don’t “roll their own.”

From Kagi:

“Kagi Search includes anonymized requests to traditional search indexes like Google and Bing as well as sources like Wikipedia, DeepL, and other APIs. We also have our own non-commercial index (Teclis), news index (TinyGem), and an AI for instant answers. Teclis and TinyGem are a result of our crawl through millions of domains, focusing primarily on non-commercial, high-quality content.”

“Our unique results combined from all of these sources help you discover the best content you can possibly find online, sometimes from the quieter places on the web.”

I don’t know if I would simplify it to “Google on the backend” as it’s compiling from multiple sources, including their own.

eh, I don’t care if a search engine doesn’t roll its own, it’s just that most of the repackagers seem to depend on Bing which apparently has lost the ability to return useful results half the time.
