What makes Kagi worth the cost:
"What does it for me is the simple fact of being able to pay directly for a service that I use, and value, rather than having to trade my attention in and endure a wall of ads."

My ideal search engine would be a paid search service with its own search index, no ads, no tracking, no LLM "AI" features, and doesn't include LLM generated content in the results (with a "report AI" button to improve this feature). As far as I know, there's nothing even close to this in existence. Currently, I am using DDG 'lite' which is OK, but falls short in many ways, including paying for search results from terrible companies.
