I've been getting captchaed by Google just for using `intitle:` or `inurl:` modifiers.

When trying out Kagi (prior to unlimited searches) my monthly Google searches were significantly higher than the cap. While some definitely do get CAPTCHAs, I wasn't. Adjusting this to the new unlimited price and it would still seem to be negative profit for them, hence the question.

It drives me bonkers when I am searching a very deep topic (like looking for specific legal decisions), and Google throws up a Captcha at me.

I am fast and good at searching, but I ain’t that good. I’m going to give Kagi a try for this reason, plus ability to prefer or ban specific sites.

> I’m sure it’s a lot higher than google will let you do before they start rate limiting you

Do you have any basis for this assumption?

Google throws me around 4-5 CAPTCHAs a month with regular usage. So far, Kagi hasn't made me do any "find the firehoses".
