I use kagi as well and love it. Worth every dime.
People that say they can't see themselves paying for Search underestimate the value of clean high quality search results.
I'm a business owner and developer of firmware for esoteric products. I need high quality, powerful searches that don't waste my time. Kagi is great for that. I created lenses on Kagi that I can use to focus my searches, a great time saver for me.
My friends and I played a ton of Doom on my company LAN back then. Getting it set up and working was a challenge but so worth it. Very fond memories.
