Kagi has an option to search the Fediverse. This makes it a lot easier than specifying a site in the search query, which would also limit the results to a specific instance.
Why YSK: This lets you easily replace searches like “some topic reddit” with Lemmy!
Just yesterday I cancel d my Kagi subscription because it is based in the US. I liked it though, for the few years I’ve used it. Also a lot of good progress going on.
I switched to Qwant as it is European.
Qwant is probably the best free search engine at the moment tbh
Is that subscription based search engine that everyone talks about ?
Yes. Its 10 bucks a month though for it to be useful. There is a 5 bucks plan but its limited to only 300 searches.
So… what’s the difference from other free search engine?
You need to sign in to use it. Other than that, the results are more relevant and customizable. You can try it for free when you make a new account.
