When you use 1/10th the searches because you get it all in the very first query your usage goes wayyyy down. even then, you aren’t limited to 300 searches. you can go over, you just pay per search. and even with that if you can’t do that then just default to DDG then. I found DDG to be terrible, not at all better than Bing by itself, so Kagi was something I tried and immediately fell in love with. It just works. And I don’t have to worry about any of my data going anywhere at all, to any advertisers for anything, or for tracking, etc.
I’ve done 418 searches today and it’s still noon. That’s ~1254 a month. Even if my searches went down by 90% I’d still be 4.18 times over.

Does it also work with very specific technical searches? Could it for example search for the behavior of atol when it encounters an alphabetical character? Neither Google, Bing nor DuckDuckGo provide me with an answer. Google doesn’t even show cppreference in the top 5.
Sorry I’m having trouble understanding what you’re asking for. You’ve done 418 searches in a single day? That would be 12958 a month so I’m not sure I’m reading your comment correctly.

That’s pretty much exactly what I use it for.

My comment wasn’t that clear. 1254 is with a 90% reduction and the example question about atol’s behavior was just an example. I looked it up earlier that day but was unable to find it using Google.
atol is a C/C++ function that takes in a char pointer and returns a long. I was trying to figure out if it would gracefully stop when it encountered non-numeric characters, if it would skip them or if it would cause undefined behavior.
Kagi is even better than DDG. Google is absolutely horrendous.
It’s interesting, but $120 a year is just too much for me.
The lowest plan is only $54 a year and it’s most definitely worth it for the results.
300 searches a month is just way too little for my usage

There are better search engines but Kagi doesn’t seem one of these
