I've replaced everything else, including migrating multiple services from AWS, DO, GCP to Scaleway, but Kagi is the only thing I haven't satisfactorily replaced.

I'm using Ecosia as Qwant isn't available in my country, but it's just not the same. Something no one else seems to do is the domain rewriting, so that I can send Reddit links to Redlib, etc.

I'm going to have to try SearXNG again.

Qwant sucks in my experience. Searxng is just a fancy wrapper around others too.

Kagi is riddled by bugs, I report some almost every month

Any suggestions which are good? I don't mind at all to pay.

If you don't mind the occasional glitch, Kagi is awesome. And I'm pretty sure it's saving me money. But mostly frustration of google or qwant not actually showing me what I'm looking for, but stuff to buy.

How? Because ads work. Without nearly as much marketing I don't end up spending as much. Google's ad revenue averaged per person is actually higher than Kagi's subscription fees for some regions.
