kagi is great. It's overpriced, but if you are willing to pay the premium for unlmimited searches (you run out really quickly or aviod doing searches otherwise with the normal plan), it's really good
I don't know if it's overpriced, or if it is the sticker shock of _having to pay for search where almost everywhere else provides it for free_. I'd rather not pay, but I'd also rather pay and support something to get them to stick around long-term.
I definitely don't disagree, although I typically do about double that count (albeit on the lower range).
I'm not a fan of subscriptions, but a search engine is definitely something I can understand requiring a subscription fee. Something like my calendar app? Nope (had to drop... some app because they moved from a perpetual license to a subscription).
