The interesting thing about Mojeek is that they're a small player from the old days, and more importantly: they also maintain their own index.
I am excited for the future for both. A world that is not dominated by Bing/Google search indexes is a good thing.

One of my pet peeves is that so many people tell me that they have to keep 100 browser windows open and I say "can't you just look up your brower history?" and then they make numerous excuses (often valid) why they don't. It points to their being a huge market for history search, bookmark managers and stuff like that which could take personalization to a much further extent than Facebook, Tik Tok and the like.

maybe my brain really is wired differently from everyone else.
Usually I have two or three recent tabs I am navigating between quite recently and if I had 50 of them open I’d be paying the cognitive price of finding the 2 or 3 tabs I am switching between in that huge sea of tabs on the off chance that i need one of those 50 other tabs.
If I am aggressive about culling tabs I find it is not hard at all to find them in my history in that (somewhat uncommon) case that I need one. but whenever I talk about this people look at me like I’m from Uranus or something and I can never understand.
It’s just like the people who are always complaining the type on a web site is too small or too big and seem offended that you might use ctrl + or ctrl - or pinch.

If your history results are in chronological order it is pretty easy to pick out the active ones.
As for “too many tabs”, memory pressure has been pretty bad on my iPad lately and tabs have a way of evicted which clears out partially completed forms. With a limited number of tabs open this happens less often.

I've been using Kagi for about a month at this point, and I haven't stumbled upon a single shitty SEO site. I don't really know if that's because of Kagi or just because there are no shitty SEO sites for my search queries though.
However, even when the results are not better than Google's, they are always at least on Google's level, which puts Kagi at a huge advantage over other alternative engines, such as DuckDuckGo.
So if you want a search engine that
Has Google quality results (or better!)
Includes useful features like !bangs and lenses
Doesn't collect your data
Allows you to greatly customize your search results
Helps surface small websites (see Kagi Small Web) while downranking ad-riddled SEO sites
Has incredible community and support
Integrates AI features without aggressively pushing them and without advertising itself as a "revolutionary AI search engine!!1!"

I've been using kagi for 10ish months and think its worth the price($10/mo). I have found it to be better than google and frankly just less frustrating. No ads/suggestions or any extra junk, just results.
That said, i still use google maps for the times I need to get business's info since its most likely to be correct.
"Up to 10 excluded sites" seems like an incredibly low limit. I never want to see a result from Pinterest, yelp, Microsoft answers, and a dozen other sites. And that's across the board. For...

I believe there is a different place in the Kagi UI you can go to to change the weighting (from block to pin and other steps in between) on domains for all search results, and I believe there is no limit on how many of those you can have.
I think that 10 is only per lens (a feature I keep forgetting to try)
So has anyone used this? How was it? I got overwhelmed at the part where you specify sites to search. I've gotten quite a bit of utility out of crowdview which searches forums. I have no interest...
So has anyone used this? How was it? I got overwhelmed at the part where you specify sites to search. I've gotten quite a bit of utility out of crowdview which searches forums. I have no interest in paying to use a search website so Kagi is not relevant for my use.
Looks useful to me. I usually search a few sites at a time for caselaw review / govt guidance and it was nice to search them only plus reddit and excluding quora

This looks like the "Lenses" feature that Kagi Search offers, although less advanced

I don't understand that question. You keep tabs open because you don't want to forget about what's on the tab.

Chrome and Firefox both let you search across your open tabs, which is really helpful if you're in the tab hoarding camp. This is generally more useful than searching my history since it's restricted to just my "active" context pool.
Alternatively use Vivaldi and its workspaces or stacked tabs to organize tabs while still leaving them open.
If your history results are in chronological order it is pretty easy to pick out the active ones.

I'm in both camps, I keeping opening new tabs while I only use 3-5 actively. Once a week or so I just close everything and start over
Have you used Kagi Search before? Is there a noticeable difference or improvement over google/bing?
I've been using Kagi for about a month at this point, and I haven't stumbled upon a single shitty SEO site. I don't really know if that's because of Kagi or just because there are no shitty SEO sites for my search queries though.
However, even when the results are not better than Google's, they are always at least on Google's level, which puts Kagi at a huge advantage over other alternative engines, such as DuckDuckGo.
So if you want a search engine that
Then Kagi is great.
I'm curious about this as well, I've played with it a few times but couldn't decide if it was worth the subscription

As DigitalHello said, this limit is only for lenses. You can block, downrank, uprank and pin any site globally, and there's no limit for those.
