Got upset enough that I now run a small instance of #searxng which does a similar thing to #Kagi (searches across multiple services) but without its own index - a metasearch engine essentially.
Strips out ads and AI responses and was moderately useful a little while ago for ascertaining that one service had heavily de-prioritised a blog post - the interface indicates which services provided which results.

@Tutanota I would add kagi.com as a search engine and Maps :)

And Orion browser from Kagi as well.

@kagihq

However Brave couldn't guess that I meant Reckless Kelly when I asked it;

What is the Australian movie with a dog who can say cornflakes?

When I gave it more details;

What is the movie starring Yahoo Serious and featuring a dog who can say cornflakes?

.. it correctly guessed Reckless Kelly, but flat-out denied that the dog says "cornflakes". It's the only word it can say and it's hilarious when it says it.

@strypey I asked both to #kagi and it gave the right answers, I think?

Turns out that the base for a good llm response is having good search results!
