I've been using @kagihq@mastodon.social for a while, but what happened this morning really shows just how damn good Kagi is compared to other search engines.

I wanted to look up a book.

Since I'd ranked them higher, Kagi showed me Goodreads, for a score and reviews, and bookshop.org, so I could buy from a local bookstore, then the author's site.

DuckDuckGo had Amazon (🤮), then the author's site, then images with "AI images" set to "show"

Google had images, Amazon, a bookstore in the wrong city, and Forbes.
